I made this for a friend's birthday party and, well, folks seemed to love it. We fancied it up with raspberries and toasted almond slivers and then made it extra shmancy by serving Amaretto whipped cream on the side. Looks good and very easy to make.P.S. I found this recipe on the internet, which ordinarily means I wouldn't post it here but I'm happy enough with how it came out to overcome those qualms.

A few days ago a very dear friend of mine called me up to ask me if I was able to make a cake for a small gathering that she was hosting on Friday night. As we were chatting away I asked her if she had a preference, but I already knew that she was a chocolate lover. 🙂 So, two fantastic recipes popped into mind to choose from one was the Chocolate Almond Upside Down Cake or the Walnut – Chocolate Bundt Cake and the choice was obvious the latter. 🙂So, I took out my pots and pans and all my other little gadgets and got to work on it yesterday morning. As I was making the cake I thought to myself ufff have to try the batter to see if its any good, as I mentioned previously me and chocolate not such a good mix hahahahaha, but what can I do!! I have to taste what I make and bake right! and so I did and it was good. 🙂 Popped it into the oven, cleaned up the kitchen and off I went to make my next recipe, which I will be posting tomorrow or Monday not sure yet. 🙂You will see that there is a glaze on the cake…unfortunately, I have difficulties in NL finding some ingredients to make the recipes that I want too. I went to 3 different supermarkets and I could not find heavy cream, 😦 so my glaze is store bought. But I have added the ingredients for the glaze, because I am sure it exists elsewhere. 🙂Last night I took over the cake, and it was a success…I was very happy that everyone loved it!! 🙂 and I hope you do too…:)

I've been trying different chocolate cake recipes and came up with this very good one. And since i was lacking some ingredients for the frosting, i just improvised with what's available and voila!

Visited my cousin and she had just made this cake. One bite and I was hooked.

I don't like icing, too much sugar for me. So, a Bundt cake is the natural answer. I used a devil's food mix, but added some of the maraschino cherry syrup to the batter to layer in flavor. Then I added a nice cherry design to the cake top to further accent the flavor.
