Chocolate bundt cake recipe???

[stephensley]

Hello! I'm new here and I have a quick question: Does anyone have a good chocolate bundt cake recipe? Or any good chocolate cake type recipes ?

I'm kind of stuck on the idea of making a bundt cake for one of my Christmas Eve desserts. The Williams-Sonoma sour cream chocolate bundt cake sounds good to me....

Thanks so much! =)

The Food Librarian blog has a whole section devoted to bundt cakes; many of the chocolate variety. Are you familiar with that site? http://foodlibrarian.blogspot.com/p/i...

Google the Magnolia Bakery Chocolate Amaretto Bundt Cake....really good and pretty easy. You can find it on Google Books here:

Thank you tattiehowker! =) I think I will give this one a try! Sounds holiday-ish to me! Do you think it would be good with a chocolate ganache on top? Or would that be too rich?

I don't know of anything that wouldnt be better with a chocolate ganache....but...the chocolate flavor in this cake is fairly light (I normally add a 1/4 cup of cocoa and cut back to 3/4 cup or less of each of the sugars). Maybe if you lightly added some amaretto to the ganache? If you go for it, post how it turns out!

P.S.....this looks good too...

The Guinness one is fantastic. It's my go-to chocolate cake recipe (she halves it for the bundt; the original makes a huge three-layer cake).

Also fantastic is Ina Garten's chocolate orange cake, which has a tremendous flavor. I love chocolate and orange together and the citrus would make it a bit more seasonal.
