Double Chocolate Bundt Cake
Then we got really tired of it and I haven’t made Chocolate cake in a while. A few weeks ago when I made one for the blog and my decorating was a disaster…haha! Today I present to you a Double Chocolate Bundt Cake. Not very fancy looking, you can tell my decorating skills needs some work. But who doesn’t love a great tasting chocolate cake. It’s all in the taste, right! Let’s just say this was so much easier for me. Once upon a time I loved decorating cakes but of late I’m just not winning. You think people are putting too much eyes on my food…Lol! I think I will have to get my hubby to turn some salt for me. I sound crazy don’t I, what’s life without a good laugh. I remember when I lived at home and if something didn’t quite work out the old people would say it’s evil eyes. They then turned some salt around our heads and it was supposed to make everything better…haha! I wish that could work for some of my recipe disasters, then I will get salt turned around my head everyday. Before someone really thinks I’ve gone mad I better get down to sharing my Double Chocolate Bundt Cake recipe. We certainly love this cake, it really is so indulgent. I find this cake is a lot more moist if eaten a day later. Just my observation.
Bundt Pan
As I said I gave up trying to make a layered cake, so the bundt pan really saved the day for me. It is not always easy working with a bundt pan, especially if you don’t grease the pan well. I’ve had many disasters where my cake stuck to the pan. So please ensure you grease the pan really well. I use some soft butter and literally lather the pan with the butter. This way I am guaranteed my cake will not stick to the pan.
Buttermilk and Oil
This cake is similar to my Chocolate Sheet Cake. The buttermilk and oil does make the cake super moist.
Bake Time
The cake takes about 35 minutes to bake. It is ready when a toothpick inserted comes out clean. I made a simple glaze with fresh cream and chocolate. My glaze was a little on the thicker side but if you prefer a more runny glaze you can increase the amount of fresh cream just a little. Excuse the not so good looking glaze work. I am a messy baker so me trying to get things to run down the sides would have been a disaster. For this cake I did use cocoa and chocolate so you get a double dose of chocolate in the cake and the glaze. It’s what makes it all the more irresistable. Any good quality chocolate will work. If you baking a chocolate cake you better make it good.
