Chocolate! Chocolate! Chocolate! Bundt Cake with Chocolate Glaze

Can you tell by the title that this is for chocolate lovers only?

A very good friend gave me one of her extra bundt pans this weekend – that’s right, I didn’t have my own before – and I was able to use it right away!

Another of my dear friends celebrated her birthday this weekend and her thoughtful husband asked if I would make a cake to bring to our small group for her. I inquired about the type of cake she would prefer and his response was “Chocolate.”

That left it pretty wide open so off I went to the internet and my good friend Recipezaar to find the perfect chocolate cake recipe to share. And to use the bundt cake pan, of course.

And this is what I came across.

SO happy I did. It was enjoyed by all. With some vanilla ice cream on the side.

This cake is quite simple to make – very common ingredients and no fancy equipment necessary!

And the bundt cake shape and drizzled glaze makes it look gorgeous.

But what chocolate isn’t gorgeous, right?!

So go share the chocolate love. And ONLY make this when you plan to share – it is addictive!
