Tuesdays with Dorie: Mocha-Walnut Marbled Bundt Cake
April 6, 2010 at 1:13 am | Posted in bundt cakes, cakes & tortes, groups, simple cakes, sweet things, tuesdays with dorie | 29 Comments
Two bundts in a row– I am a lucky girl! I made this Mocha-Walnut Marbled Bundt Cake for our Easter dinner. Last week’s Coconut Tea Cake went unadorned, but for this one, I stirred up a quick chocolate sour cream frosting (thinned out with a little coffee leftover from making the cake batter), so my springtime pastel hundreds and thousands would have something to stick to.
Chocolate, coffee and ground walnuts all in one moist cake– what’s not to like? It’s tasty, it’s easy, and I’m glad that Erin of When in Doubt…Leave it at 350 picked it for TWD.
I have jury duty today. Perhaps a little snack-sized piece of this will find its way into my tote…
For the recipe, see Baking: From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan, or read When in Doubt…Leave it at 350. Don’t forget to check out the TWD Blogroll!

How to make a great bundt even better? Get it done by Steph… with a huge think of frosting on it! LOL The most mouthwatering picture I could find this morning!
Oh! And thank you very much for not letting me down while I was sick and not feeling like surfing the net to comment myself! Very much appreciated!

Bundt cakes are the best! even if it’s just a regular yummy cake, when baked in a bundt? Whoohooo, it’s even better. And chocolate ganache and sprinkles! 🙂 I dig this.

If anything can make jury duty tolerable, it’s this cake! Just looking at it makes me need coffee.

Ain’t it always stunning how sometimes the tiniest little decoration can pack a bigger punch than something fancy? Then again, everything you do is nothing short of stunning, adore your blog beyond words! Must bake this cake now!

I love the frosting and your spring-y decorations 🙂 Is it weird that I’m jealous you’re heading to jury duty? I’ve never been selected.

Oh, sour cream chocolate frosting – I’m so glad people like you alerted me to its awesomeness! And yes, I think jury duty would be much more palatable with this in your tote…
