This week's Tuesdays with Dorie (TWD) recipe was chosen by Kristin of I'm Right About Everything: Milk Chocolate Mini Bundt Cakes.
This week's post is particularly short because I've been busy with the baby - I was happy to even get the baking time in! I don't have mini bundt cake pans, so I doubled the recipe and used my regular bundt pan.
Some folks seemed to have some trouble with the chocolate glaze so I took the tip from one of the bakers in our group to halve the corn syrup and that seemed to do the trick, as my glaze turned out just fine.
My husband got to bring this one in to work, so I didn't get to try it. He said it was a decent cake, but a little dry. That seemed to be the general opinion on this one - that it was just okay. If you're looking for a good chocolate cake recipe, try the "She Ain't Heavy" Chocolate Cake recipe, or the Cocoa-Buttermilk Cake recipe.
Thanks, Kristin, for hosting this week. If you would like the recipe, you can find it here. Make sure you check out the TWD Blogroll, to see how everyone else enjoyed these mini chocolate treats!
* Recipes notes:
- If making this in a regular bundt pan, double the recipe.
- You can also make cupcakes instead of mini bundt cakes with this recipe.
- For the chocolate glaze, only add 1 teaspoon of corn syrup to the melted chocolate. If making a regular size bundt cake, make 1.5x the glaze recipe.

My mouth is drooling. This lookds divine. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHow could I not mention the word PERFECTION, when I come here, you tell me!
ReplyDeleteBravo, Jaime... very, very well done switch from minis to cake!
Wow, it looks perfect! The hubby thought this was just a touch dry, but I liked it!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! That chocolate glaze looks perfect! I hate when the cake doesnt turn out as good as it looks!
ReplyDeleteI halved the recipe, and did a wee bit of tweaking to mine.
ReplyDeleteWell, it was very nice of you to bake this one up for the hubs and his co-workers. It looks wonderful.
ReplyDeletedry cake? boo. if that's the case, give me extra glaze (which looks great, by the way). :)
ReplyDeleteMy cakes weren't dry, but that may be due to the cherry preserves I used instead of the cinnamon,nut cocoa swirl.
ReplyDeleteYour cake looks perfect.

Great job! You're much nicer than me...I'm not sure I could have let this one go without a bite first!
ReplyDeleteThat glaze looks like something I wanna stick my finger in and lick.
ReplyDeleteYour glaze does look good. I should have read up on the glaze again. I never have luck with corn syrup in glazed, but felt if Dorie used it, then maybe this time it would work out. It didn't! Great job!
ReplyDeleteYour cake sure is pretty! And that glaze looks so chocolatey and thick, yum!
ReplyDeleteGlad you found a little time to bake Jaime. Your cake looks fabulous! I had trouble with the glaze too so thanks for the tip. I really liked the flavor of this one but mine was on the dry side too.
ReplyDeleteWow, your full-size bundt looks fabulous. The glaze looks de-lish. Way to get it done, busy Mommy!
ReplyDeleteJaime,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Mommy! Glad you are enjoying your little bundle and this chocolate bundle you made looks delicious. Very nice photos.

Wow! Your cake is just stunning!!
ReplyDeleteWow, your cake looks fantastic! Glad to hear that you got the glaze to work.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty cake!!! How old is your baby?
ReplyDeleteYour glaze is probably the only one that worked! Excellent job!! Too bad it was a little dry. I wonder why that seemed to be a problem for so many people considering there seems to be a sufficient amount of liquid.
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful! Thanks so much for baking with me this week.
ReplyDeleteYou did great with the glaze! It looks fab!
