Easy Kahlua Torte

Total Time: 2 hrs 30 mins Preparation Time: 2 hrs 20 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 8
• 5 tablespoons kahlua
• 6 ounces semisweet chocolate morsels
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 4 egg yolks
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 11 -14 ounces prepared poundcake

Recipe

• 1 in a small saucepan, heat kahlua over medium heat until mixture starts to have bubbles around the edge, but not boiling.
• 2 place kahlua in a blender with chocolate morsels and process until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth (if you find it is too thick, and your morsels are not melting, remove a little and set it in pan to melt somewhat and get warm, then mix that back in, but do not scorch it!).
• 3 add powdered sugar, egg yolks, and butter, and mix until smooth.
• 4 place mixture in a bowl, cover, and refrigerate 1 hour or until it becomes thick enough to spread.
• 5 holding your serrated bread knife parallel to the countertop, slice the pound cake into 6 thin layers (best to do 1 layer at a time, making a little marking with a toothpick so you know where to cut).
• 6 lay the first layer on a cake plate and top with enough frosting to form a frosting layer about 3/8-inch thick (optional: before putting on frosting you may also add a little kahlua to the cake- spoon it on lightly, then proceed to frost; be careful though, as you have 6 layers!!!).
• 7 then cut the second layer and place it on top of the icing and proceed as with the first, etc.
• 8 ,finally finishing with the top, and icing the torte all around.
• 9 refrigerate the torte at least 1 hour before serving (this helps it hold when being cut into).
