Red Velvet Bundt Cake with Kahlua Ganache is the perfect red velvet cake recipe for your Valentine’s Day. This is sure to bring big smiles from your sweetie this holiday.

Have you had enough red velvet yet? No- me neither??? I was going through all the boxes of cake pans I shipped home from my mom’s house & really wanted to make a cake with one of them. I only had one bundt pan prior the arrival of the boxes so I was itching to try out one of her pans to see if I would have a better result. This Red Velvet Bundt Cake w/ Kahlua Ganache turned out delicious!

Since it is inching closer to Valentine’s Day I had to make a Red Velvet Bundt & then I decided to top it with a Chocolate Ganache instead of cream cheese frosting. But not just any chocolate ganache would do. I decided to give it a little extra love & create something special.

I had to add a little coconut & sprinkles on top.

I love a dense cake that doesn’t crumble or fall apart. This is the perfect consistency- dense but not heavy (if that makes any sense)

If you can- just let that ganache just drizzle & drip all over the place.

Not too much- but this was the perfect amount without overwhelming the flavor of the cake.

YUM-O!!
