Hi everyone, it’s me Rosemary from An Italian in my Kitchen, and I am back again to share with you a Delicious Decadent Glazed Dark Chocolate Bundt Cake, if you love chocolate then this is just the cake for you. And I have to admit I am one of those chocolate lovers, oh yes and also Pasta lover, Pizza lover ok Food lover in general.
I am so happy to be guest posting on Crystal’s Blog again. She is an amazing person and I like to call her a friend. I asked her what she would like me to make, “A Chocolate Dessert” was her response, what can I say, great minds think alike, I was thinking the same thing! Well if I’m going to go chocolate, I might as well go all the way.
This Chocolate Bundt Cake is just that. Not only does it have a chocolate ganache on top of the cake but also baked into the cake, along with a little cocoa and a couple of tablespoons of coffee just enough to bring out the chocolate flavour but not enough to taste the coffee, and some mini dark chocolate chips because, well why not?
I filled the middle with some fresh strawberries, because everywhere I look here in Italy there are strawberries. Strawberries and chocolate a perfect combination.
I hope you enjoy this Glazed Dark Chocolate Bundt Cake, I think it would make the perfect family Dinner Dessert. Enjoy!
