    I think it’s safe to say that bundt cakes and I are friends now. Although they can be a wee bit tricky to get sorted recipe testing wise (the last few have really taken me for a run), they are so satisfying once the recipe is nailed - the pan does all the fancy work for you, and they are often fairly uncomplicated to make (I have a few doozys coming your way though), which makes them a great back pocket recipe if you need to make something in a pinch. They also make a solid amount of cake - a bundt cake usually serves at least 8-10 people, or my full sized husband over the course of a few days, who seems to eat baked goods as if i’ve never baked for him before.

    This is a pretty simple chocolate bundt cake. I took King Arthur’s recipe, which I have made a few times, and made a few tweaks - upping the cocoa a touch and adding in some Nutella. The recipe is the perfect density, and is nice and moist from the sour cream in the recipe, and the chocolate really shines from the addition of strong coffee. The Nutella lent another layer of fudginess, which was the perfect finisher. It’s not overly forward on the Nutella flavour but - this cake doesn’t need a glaze, although Rich would like me to tell you that he made a double of this icing recipe, spread it on thick, then drowned it in sprinkles and it was amazing, even if it does feel like your teeth are going to dissolve from the sugar. I added chocolate chips the first time and definitely don’t recommend it - they all sink and things get super weird.

    I used this pan for this cake - I love the pattern on it, and the cake released easily. Any 10 cup bundt pan will work though! I find that the key to the cake releasing nicely is to grease the pan well (the baking spray with flour in it works a charm), and using a recipe which is dense enough. I’ve had some shockers with testing and the recipe not being dense enough - there’s nothing that bums you out more than half the cake still being in the pan.

    A few wee tips:

    • I used two shots of coffee for the recipe because I wanted the coffee to really help the chocolate shine - I just used a nespresso machine and did two long shots. Make sure that you weigh it to make sure it’s the correct quantity.

    • I used regular nutella in this, but if you have the time, a homemade chocolate hazelnut spread would be so good, or any other nutella alternative! You can also absolutely leave it out if you want!

    • Another key to getting the cake to pop out nicely is the cooling time. 10 minutes is perfect - set the timer when you bring the cake out of the oven, then carefully turn it out onto a rack and let it cool completely.

    • I like to let the batter sit for 5 mins in the bowl to help release any additional bubbles. During this time I grease the pan - you don’t want to grease too early, or the baking spray will settle in the grooves of the pan. I then give the bowl a good rap on the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles, then transfer to the cake pan and give it another good rap.

     


     

    Nutella Chocolate Bundt Cake

    - Makes one Bundt Cake, Serves about 10-12 people

    Recipe adapted from King Arthur Flour

    225g butter, cut into small cubes
    75g dutch process cocoa
    200g Nutella or other chocolate hazelnut spread
    240g hot, strong coffee (I used two long Nespresso shots - weigh to ensure that it is correct quantity) 
    115g sour cream or full fat yoghurt
    2 large eggs, at room temperature
    1 tsp vanilla
    300g sugar
    275g all-purpose flour
    ¾ tsp baking powder
    ¼ tsp baking soda
    ¾ tsp salt

    - PROCESS -

    Preheat the oven to 350°f / 180°.

    In a medium sized mixing bowl, add the butter, cocoa, and Nutella. Pour the coffee over, and whisk to combine until smooth and all of the butter is melted. Set aside to cool slightly, then add the sour cream, eggs, and vanilla, and mix well to combine.

    In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the cooled chocolate mixture, and whisk to combine - use a flexible rubber spatula to make sure there are no dry parts at the bottom of the bowl.

    Leave the batter to sit in the bowl for 5 minutes. During this time, spray a 10 cup bundt pan with non stick baking spray with flour, or spray with a baking spray and lightly dust with cocoa.

    Rap the bowl of batter a few times on the counter to release any big air bubbles, then carefully transfer the batter to the prepared bundt pan. Leave to stand for a further 2 minutes, then rap one more time. Place onto a sheet pan.

    Bake the bundt cake for 60-65 minutes, testing for doneness after 55 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the deepest part of the cake comes out clean (this can be a little tricky to do - make sure you poke the skewer down to the middle part of the cake).

    Remove the cake from the oven and allow to stand for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack and allowing to cool completely.

    Dust with powdered sugar if desired. Store leftovers at room temperature in an airtight container.

    Hi, I'm Erin

    Here’s a fun fact for you: in New Zealand, TV a Here’s a fun fact for you: in New Zealand, TV a stations and radio stations don’t run ads on some public holidays. So TV on Easter was prime time to record all your fave movies on video because you didn’t have to fast forward through the ads when you were re watching them back. The sound of music and the parent trap both had “Good Friday, great movie” on them and were so good to watch because no frantic fast forwarding needed. Anyway that’s just a random thought for you. We also never really had an Easter dinner or anything growing up but it seems like it’s more popular here! I’d like to let you know that if you need a super squishy garlic butter dinner roll, there’s one on my website. Ok that’s all happy Saturday 💕

    Slowly slowly reformatting my website (PLEASE if y Slowly slowly reformatting my website (PLEASE if you’re ever starting a food blog just do it on Wordpress because moving it all over when you realise you should have done it years ago and now have massive regrets and will be reformatting forever SUCKS), and came across these super cute creme egg macarons! If you need an unnecessarily involved Easter project this weekend, may I suggest these? Or just make hot cross buns. Link for these is in my profile 💕

    Easter is sneaking up on us.... I gave my classic Easter is sneaking up on us.... I gave my classic hot cross bun recipe a wee bit of a refresh just in case you need a few options. This one is the one to go for if you’re making your dough by hand (the soft ones I posted recently need the mixer for sure), or you need an egg free dough (notes in the recipe for an egg free cross too). I love both but the pastry cream cross on these ones is particularly good. You can swipe to see how that gets there, or check out the recipe in my profile 💕 pop any questions you have on the blog post for me - there’s alllll sorts of notes there for you too to help you. As always I love when you leave me feedback / ratings so much. Appreciate you all 😘

    Hi! These super soft hot cross bun babies are up o Hi! These super soft hot cross bun babies are up on the blog! There’s another HCB recipe lurking there too that I’ve just updated, it has a pastry cream cross which is 🙌🏻. Both are so good but these ones are my current fave - I adapted my recipe to use the Tangzhong method which gives an impossibly soft dough which stays nice and soft for so long! This recipe is small batch ish and makes 9 buns but there’s alllll the tips and tricks there for you in the blog post! Enjoy! 💕

    If you know, you know. My chocolate crackle recipe If you know, you know. My chocolate crackle recipe is on my site! These are a Nz / Australian kid’s bday party staple and they are just SO GOOD. Marshmallows in Nz are different so we don’t really have Rice Krispie treats (but we have rice bubble slice which is EPIC and I gotta make ASAP) so this was and still is the best thing ever. There’s a recipe for both the super nostalgic tasting version and also a slightly fancied up version using melted chocolate instead on the site! Link is in my profile!

    Hi hi 💕 there’s a carrot cake loaf on the blo Hi hi 💕 there’s a carrot cake loaf on the blog today. It’s lightly spiced, and has a maple cream cheese frosting that is so, so good. The cake part happens to be dairy free so there’s a few options to keep the whole thing dairy free in the blog post if you need. I used my fave @filippoberio_us delicato EVOO in there which is so perfect for when I want a wee bit of olive oil flavour but not have it as the main character. I hope you give this one a go because I really, really love it. Link is in my profile 🥰 #sponsored #filippoberio
