Chocolate Swirl Bundt Cake Recipe

My birthday is this weekend. I’ve never been much of a traditional birthday cake person.

As a kid, I chose rice krispies treats (Did you know that it’s krispies and not krispie?

I’ve been saying it wrong all these years!) or the chocolate cupcakes with the cheesecake in the middle. ‘

One year I even had a spice cake with no frosting.

This year, though, I decided that I wanted to have some bundt cake – this Chocolate Swirl Bundt Cake to be exact.

This cake is so super moist!

It has bittersweet chocolate cake swirled with tender, vanilla cake.

And when it’s covered in delicious, drippy chocolate glaze, it tastes like one of my favorite foods – a cake donut.

So, this yummy bundt cake is perfect for birthdays or any other celebratory occasions (like a Tuesday night).

If you’d like to make mini bundt cakes (like in the picture above) instead of a regular bundt cake, this cake will make 12 1-cup bundt cakes. Reduce the baking time to about 20-25 minutes.
