Delicious and moist chocolate bundt cake, that you can make everyday and devour everyday!
Chocolate is something that I can get a craving for instantly – by seeing a picture of a chocolate something, reading a chocolate something recipe, sometimes even after I have just finished eating one of the giant chocolate muffins I get at deli at work. I came up with this recipe last day work after one such post chocolate muffin craving. I used my basic cake recipe - added some cocoa and changed the ratio a little to accommodate for more sugar. I was to bake this last week sometime but I was a little extra lazy after a super busy week before this and so this became my weekend baking. I did not add any icing to this cake as this is a everyday kind of cake. If you are making this for an occasion, I would suggest icing the cake with a chocolate glaze!
The next time I try this I wanna add some raspberries or strawberries in it. Berries and chocolate is such a wonderful combination. Orange is something else that I would like trying in this cake recipe. You may have noticed that I added a little coffee - it enhances the flavor of chocolate. It is completely optional. What other flavors do you think will go well with this chocolate cake –either to add to the cake or to have on the side?
