Cake is definitely 5* but my grandaughter wants to make it without the Kahlulaa. what should you replace the 1/2 c to keep the correct liquid? 1 ir 2 teaspoons of vanilla and water?

I used a Devil's Food Mix and baked the cake in a "cathedral" bundt pan to the delight of my chocoholic house guests. I couldn't find Heath bits or even a Heath bar at two local grocery chains. Who would have thought? I added two smashed Skor bars instead. Drizzled the finished cake with a little chocolate glaze and sprinkled with powdered sugar. It looked like snowy chocolate mountain peaks. Absolutely beautiful! I think the whipped cream might be overkill. The cake was so moist it can be made in advance, and it kept well for several days. It's so rich, a small slice will do. Thanks for a very good recipe, Fauve!
