more bundt, more chocolate

cbcgac1

I felt pretty good after my success with bundt cake, so I made another last week for a friend’s holiday party.  This is a chocolate bundt cake with a chocolate ganache glaze based on a Martha Stewart recipe.  Based on Michelle’s advice from my last post, I added extra sour cream, and the cake turned out deliciously moist as she promised it would.  Also, instead of using rum to the ganache for an extra punch, I was inspired to add Disaronno Amaretto based on a conversation I had with my friend John about his favorite birthday cake.  Thanks for your tips, everyone!

Question for today: what are you baking for the holidays?

Cake looks awesome, glad to see you honing your baking skills. Fill the middle with ice cream and candy and you’ll have a masterpiece! The real reason I write is that I Google “gravy train blog” and sometimes “gaby train blg” and always seem to find you. But Bing? I “Binged” (“bunged” “bonged”?) and got a whole lot of nothing. They tried to keep me from your yummy photos, so I no longer have any faith in Microsoft. Hope everyone gets there in time, in good shape, and really hungry! Happy Holidays!

Thanks! I’m enjoying it. Crazy that Bing doesn’t find me! That’s why Google rocks…Happy holidays to you and your family too!
