WOW....this cake was pretty amazing. So easy to make and oh soooooooooo delicious. Super moist and delicious. I did not add the cinnamon or the walnuts. For the chocolate chips I used the mini size. You can REALLY taste the kahlua in here, and may even consider decreasing it to 1/2 cup next time. I did not use the glaze either because the cake was pretty powerful in Kahlua and did not want it to be overwhelming. This is a definite keeper of a recipe and will be making this one over and over and over again.

This was great. I tried to save some calories by using half the amount of chocolate chips, lite sour cream, and I used three eggs instead of four. It came out AMAZING. Tasted like the cake I remember from my high school days. Thanks, it was fun to finally find this recipe. Well done!
