Mayan Chocolate Cake features cocoa which originated from the gulf coast region in Mexico. The cocoa, along with this chocolate icing recipe featuring Kahlua, give this cake a distinctive flavor only found south of the border.

2 9 x 2 round cake pans
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, warmed to room temperature
