Scrumptious Walnut – Chocolate Bundt Cake

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…:)

Cooking Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt.
- 2
Whisk ingredients until all is nicely combined.
- 3
In a large bowl add the butter and sugar and beat until nice and fluffy…:)
- 4
Add the sour cream and milk.
- 5
Add in one egg and a time and continue beating, continue beating and add in 2 teaspoons of the vanilla extract.
- 6
Add in the chopped walnuts.
- 7
Continue combining by hand. Fold batter into bundt form, or a baking pan that you prefer and even out the batter.
- 8
Bake for 60 minutes at medium to high heat. I still use the knife to be absolutely sure that the batter has been baked. A few years ago had a small mishap with the cake batter tester. and I never used it again. 🙂 As for the glaze, mine is store bought but it really is very simple to make..just warm the heavy cream fold in the cocoa powder and butter and whisk until it has a soft smooth texture, once the cake has cooled off pour the glaze on slowly.

Cinnamon & Walnut Bundt Cake Cinnamon & Walnut Bundt Cake
Hello everyone, yesterday turned out to be quite a busy day for me, from food shopping for different recipes, walking Charlie, catching up with some friends on Skype that I have not spoken to in a while, and working on different projects which are all just very exciting. 🙂 Easter is coming up very quickly, well for us our Easter (Greek Easter) is on April 8th, so we have a couple of more weeks. I am hoping to make the traditional Greek Cookies that we have during Easter time. (My arm has been acting up on me again with all the weather changes and it has been strapped up with a band)Come to think of it the Easter Cookie recipe is how I actually met my blogging buddy, and dear friend Dee dee from Invisible-no-more. I had just started blogging and I was searching for blogs that expressed what I was interested in and I came across Dee dee’s. Some of Dee dee’s post were so funny and some so touching, that I commented on one of them and she replied. 🙂 Dee dee asked me if I had a recipe for the Greek Easter Cookies…I sent the recipe and she made them last year & posted them on her blog, the cookies looked so good!!Dee dee has a special place in my heart. 🙂I wasn’t going to do any cooking today, I had some leftover Pastichio that I had made so I was just going to bake a cake. 🙂 The cake started out as a basic Vanilla Cake but I ended up adding Cinnamon and Walnuts, don’t ask why I just felt like I should add something more than just Vanilla. :) Foodzesty -
Moist and Light Chocolate Bundt Cake Moist and Light Chocolate Bundt Cake
This bundt cake seems heavy, but it actually includes 1 cup of water, making it light enough to enjoy two slices! Plus, it's easy to make by just mixing the ingredients.The origin of this recipeI found a bundt cake recipe in English. The original called for more than double the sugar! I adjusted it to suit Japanese tastes and made significant changes to the glaze recipe. It's now my own recipe, haha.It's light enough to enjoy two slices.(´∀`*)ウフフ FaithAlohaTranslated from Cookpad Japan -

Easy chocolate bundt cake Easy chocolate bundt cake
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. Jon -

Cream Bundt Cake Cream Bundt Cake
Bundt cakes are very popular, and many people love these cakes made in Bundt pans, known for their sponginess and density, diverse and elegant shapes, and the ease of unmolding them with almost guaranteed success. This one I'm sharing is incredibly simple but has all those virtues I just mentioned. I call it Cream Bundt Cake, and it can be made very simply, like the one I've prepared (a simple sponge cake), or enhanced, as I'll explain. The enhancement involves two processes during preparation: one is the filling it can accommodate; the other is the glaze on top. C.H. LanchasTranslated from Cookpad Spain -
