Chocolate Chip Marble Bundt Cake
#15 of the Treat Yo Self Challenge
Counter Cakes chapter
After all the savory foods of yesterday, I was looking forward to something sweeter - with chocolate! - today. I love the ease of a good bundt cake, although I usually don't like marble cakes of any sort. Why ruin a good chocolate cake with swirls of white cake?! I also love using my bundt pan beacuse it reminds me of my friend Marcy, who gave me mine as a gift when we left Minnesota. We used to live less than a mile from the NordicWare factory, so every time I pull out my trusty bundt pan I think fondly of Marcy and our old house.
As a general rule I try not to modify a recipe the first time I bake it, but this time Rose wanted to help and she BEGGED to substitute M&M's for the chocolate chips. We compromised and went halvsies :)
Verdict: Definitely a winner! I'm surprised that I actually really liked the marbling. Next time I'd leave out the M&Ms and chocolate chips, so as not to ruin the smooth texture, but overall this one was great! Hopefully my coworkers enjoy this one tomorrow.
