Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup Kahlua
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch cast-iron skillet or round cake pan with butter and lightly dust with flour.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer. This should take approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Gradually fold in the all-purpose flour and salt, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared skillet or cake pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top to ensure an even surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the Kahlua whipped cream. In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add Kahlua to the whipped cream, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Once the cake has cooled completely, slice and serve with a dollop of Kahlua whipped cream on top.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and optimal texture.
- Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to a tough, dense cake.
- For the best results, use a cast-iron skillet which helps create a beautifully golden, crispy exterior.
- Chill your mixing bowl and whisk before making the Kahlua whipped cream for maximum volume.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the whipped cream to prevent melting.
- For an extra touch, dust the cake with powdered sugar or garnish with fresh berries.
