Remove from heat when the sugar is amber in color and add enough cream to thin the caramel to a fairly liquid consistency. Stir in butter. To test consistency, dip a spoon into the caramel mixture and allow to cool. If the "cajeta" is gooey but holds its shape, it's ready; if it hardens too much, add a little more cream and test again.

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans with solid vegetable shortening, then dust with flour. Shake out the excess flour. Set the pans aside. Place the cake mix, cocoa, Kahlua, buttermilk, oil, and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat 2 minutes more, scraping down the sides again if needed. The batter should look well combined. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans, smoothing it out with the rubber spatula. Place the pans in the oven side by side. Bake the cakes until they spring back when lightly pressed with your finger, 28 to 30 minutes. Remove the pans from the oven and place them on wire racks to cool for 10 minutes. Run a dinner knife around the edge of each layer and invert each onto a rack, then invert again onto another rack so that the cakes are right side up. Allow to cool completely, 30 minutes more. Meanwhile, prepare the Fluffy Chocolate Kahlua Frosting. Place the cocoa powder in a large mixing bowl and pour in the boiling water and Kahlua. Stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until the cocoa comes together into a soft mass. Add the butter and blend with an electric mixer on low speed until the mixture is soft and well combined, 30 seconds. Stop the machine. Add the confectioners' sugar and cinnamon and beat with the mixer on low speed until the sugar is incorporated, 1 minute. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat until the frosting lightens and is fluffy, 2 minutes more. Place one of the layers right side up on a cake plate or stand. Generously and evenly frost the top of the layer. Place the second layer on top, and generously frost the top of the cake creating decorative swirls with the spatula. With the remaining frosting, frost around the sides of the cake using smooth, clean strokes. Slice, then serve.

KAREN'S CHOCOLATE KAHLUA CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350
• 2. Spray bottom of 12 cup Bundt Pan with flour baking spray (it is important to spray the bottom of the pan to prevent the chips from potentially sticking and tearing the top off your cake) If you don't have a flour baking spray, lightly oil and flour the pan. Be sure to discard excess flour.
• 3. Dump all ingredients, except chocolate chips, into a large bowl and whisk together until combined. Batter will be lumpy.
• 4. Add chocolate chips and stir until mixed in. Pour mixture evenly into prepared bundt pan
• 5. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. I usually check the cake at 45 minutes but have found 55-60 minutes is perfect regardless of the oven I've used.
• 6. When finished baking, allow cake to cool in the pan for a few minutes then turn it out onto a platter to finish cooling. IMPORTANT--Don't let the cake sit too long in the pan as the chips start to solidify and cause the top to stick and tear off when inverted.
• 7. Serve cake warm with vanilla ice cream or allow to cool completely.
• 8. This recipe is very versatile and the kahlua and chips can be substituted for whatever you'd like. I've changed the cake mix to yellow and made rum cake as well as used strawberry schnapps to make a strawberry cake. Substituting the semi sweet chips for mint chips makes for a really nice change. I've also substituted the cake mix with a German Chocolate mix and used milk chocolate chips. Followed the recipe, but used 2 round layer pans instead of a bundt pan. Baked for 30 mins per the box and iced with the coconut pecan icing...OH SOOOO GOOD! People love this German Chocolate cake.

CHOCOLATE KAHLUA CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Make the Cake PER the "box instructions" in 2 round layers and add one of the chocolate pudding into the mix. Make sure that you add your eggs, oil and water p/the cake instructions. I did not include those in my list of ingredients as different box mixes may vary in their list of ingredients.
• 2. Make the pudding w/a twist, use 1 1/2 cups milk and 1/2 cup of Kahlua and finish making p/the box instructions. If you can make it the night before so it will be set when you are ready to make the cake.
• 3. I use a large bowl for transport purposes. Place one cake round in the bottom of the bowl bottom side up. Drizzle 1/4 cup of the Kahlua on the cake slowly so that it is absorbed. Then pour half the chocolate pudding on top. Then sprinkle a portion on the heath toffee chips and cover w/half of the cool whip. Place the next cake layer on top of the cool whip bottom side up and repeat. When you have the cool whip part done, there should be a little toffee left for decoration.
