Chocolate Peppermint Bundt Cake Kroll S Korner

Then, I got inspiration from the front of a magazine cover to make a chocolate bundt cake. OK Tawnie. Good start, good start. But there are a billion chocolate bundt cake recipes online…what is going to make mine different?! Let’s make it festive…by adding peppermint…and sugared cranberries! I am obsessed with using Nielsen-Massey products lately so I used their peppermint extract to make the peppermint flavors dance on your tongue a little more. The first bundt cake I ever had was from my mom, of course. She taught me everything I need to know in the kitchen. As a tradition, she makes us a rum bundt cake for my birthday every year. (For both me and my brother, as my brother’s birthday is 1 day before mine, but 4 years apart!) Bundt cakes are so pretty, right? I feel like this cake is especially gorgeous with how this Heritage bundt pan that creates those mesmerizing swirls in the cake! These also would be SO CUTE as mini chocolate peppermint bundt cakes…that’s the next pan I need in my life!

Common questions regarding this Chocolate Peppermint Bundt Cake:

Why do baked good recipes always call for unsalted butter? I prefer to use unsalted butter in my cakes, cookies, muffins, etc. so I can control how salty the product comes out. It you don’t have unsalted butter on hand I recommended omitting the extra salt in the recipe. How can I get my bundt cake to not stick to the pan? First, butter the pan and then lightly coat the entire pan with flour, shaking off the excess. Or since this is a chocolate cake, you can coat it with the cocoa powder instead of flour! What can I use if I don’t have Greek yogurt? Sour cream or butter milk works well as a replacement.What other flours can I use instead of All-Purpose? This recipe can be made gluten free with a gluten free flour.
