It's
National Bundt Day! I'm in perpetual awe of the killer baking skillz of my oldest and dearest friend, the
Night Baker, and thru
her blog I've discovered JustJenn with her
Recipes and
Designs, and now...
The Food Librarian.
The Food Librarian makes 30 bundts in 30 days! Awesome, yet crazy, and it all culminates on November 15th - today - National Bundt Day! She challenges her readers to make a bundt to celebrate - and then post the pics & story on the baker's own blog....So - I wanted to play, too!!!
My entry in this awesomely cool event.....is
this recipe for Buttercake Bakery's Chocolate Chip Marble Bundt Cake. When The Night Baker first posted this recipe, I commented, "OMG this looks so good." I was going to make a
Lemon Bundt Cake but the Tiny Titan complained that he was no longer a lover of the lemons. So - one chocolate chip marble bundt cake, coming up!!
 |
| I made the chocolate sauce |
 |
| I whisked my dry ingredients |
 |
| I creamed my butter & sugar |
 |
| I added in my chocolate chips and portioned out 1/3 of my batter which I then added into... |
 |
| ...the chocolate sauce! |
 |
| I added 1/3 of the vanilla batter into my Bundt pan |
 |
| Next, I added in the chocolate batter | |
|
| | |
|
**props to me for pouring the chocolate batter into the pan with my left hand while I simultaneously snapped this action pic with my iPhone in my right hand....and did not spill any batter!
 |
| I added in the remaining vanilla batter and swirled my figure-8s...though hopefully not too much... |
 |
| Kirby, the Princess Pup, was not amazed, nor amused. After all - there was no chance any of this was going to be eaten by her.... |
 |
| I MADE A MESS!! |
 |
|
|
| I CLEANED IT UP!! | |
| |
|

|
|
 |
| Ooooooh! Ahhhhhh! It's cooling on the rack! |
 |
| Cooled and ready to eat |
 |
| Plates and served. Note the fabulous marbling...not bad for my rookie attempt! |
It tasted AMAZING! If I hadn't made it myself, I would not have believed that it was homemade. This was so good, that my Pop Pop, the most devoted chocoholic, would have been reduced to tears over this deliciosity. But Batman and the Tiny Titan were just as happy to give it two thumbs up. Waaaaay up!
This was fun - and I'm looking forward to making my
Thanksgiving Bundt next weekend.
A special thank you to
The Food Librarian,
The Night Baker, and
JustJenn and her Recipes.
