Spicy Chocolate Bundt Cake #BundtBakers

Are you wondering what in the world could #BundtBakers mean? Well, I’m here to tell you that I have joined a group of ladies who are fun-loving-Bundt-cake-baking-fanatics who like to create a new Bundt each month while following a monthly theme or ingredient. Maybe the word “fanatics” if over used there in that sentence, but let me tell you from what I have gathered they are some Bundt loving ladies! I am all sorts of excited to have jumped in on the fun this month and for months to come as well! I hope you’ll enjoy the Bundt ride with me! 

Now lets get to it… 

We have nine fabulous cakes for the #BundtBakers this month, and it is all about chocolate. That is right, our theme and ingredient of choice is chocolate. We’ve got milk, semi sweet and dark chocolate. In the cake, in the glaze and in every way you like it! All baked to perfection in delicious Bundt cakes.

For my debut… and to highlight chocolate, I have created a Spicy Chocolate Bundt Cake. You really can’t go wrong with sweet and spicy. It’s one of my favorite… kind of like sweet and sour or sweet and salty… yup okay maybe I’m more of a sweet and salty type girl, but I love my spicy too. 

There’s just enough cayenne pepper in the cake and the glaze to give you just a hint of heat that hits you at the back of the throat.. every once in awhile because it’s not in every bite. {Don’t take that out of context either, jeez what were you thinking!}

This Bundt cake is sure to satisfy anyone’s chocolate craving with a hint of heat for a spin on a classic chocolate Bundt cake. Recipe Card

6. 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
7. 1 cup brown sugar
8. 1 cup white sugar
9. 3/4 cup butter
10. 1 teaspoon vanilla
11. 4 large eggs
12. 1 cup milk

Spicy Chocolate Glaze

1. 2 ounces semi-sweet Baker's Chocolate Bar, shaved
2. 1/4 cup butter, melted
3. 1/4 cup milk
4. 1/8 teaspoon salt
5. 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

2. In a medium mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugars.
3. Add the eggs, one at time, mixing well after each addition.
4. Mix in the vanilla.
5. Cream in the melted chocolate to the butter mixture.
6. In a sifter combine the dry ingredients: flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and cayenne pepper.
7. Gradually sift in the dry ingredients alternating with milk until fully combined.
8. Pour/spoon batter into prepared Bundt pan.
9. Bake at 350*F for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center tests clean.
10. Place Bundt pan on a cooling rack and cool for 10 minutes before dumping cake onto the cooling rack.

Glaze

1. Add the shaved chocolate to a glass, microwave safe bowl and microwave for 15 seconds, stir. Continue melting the chocolate in 15 second intervals while stirring in between until melted.

3. Add the melted chocolate.
4. Gradually add the milk, stir.
5. Add the salt and cayenne pepper.
6. If glaze needs thickened, add more powdered sugar 1 tablespoon at a time until desired thickness (thick enough that it's not all going to run off the cake when drizzled).

Notes

1. **Shaving or chopping the chocolate allows for easier melting**

Would you like to join in on the fun?! Here’s a little more information if you’re interested…. 

I’ve already told you this once, but I’m going to tell you again…. #BundtBakers is a group of Bundt loving bakers who get together once a month to bake Bundts with a common ingredient or theme. You can see all of our lovely Bundts by following our Pinterest board right here. Each month we take turns hosting the event, which includes the super-duper challenge of choosing the “secret” ingredient {my favorite part}. 

Speaking of…. this months host is Veronica from My Catholic Kitchen. I want to give her a big-ol’ 12-cup Bundt sized shout out for all of hard work this month! 

If you are a food blogger and you would like to join us, just send an email to Stacy at foodlustpeoplelove@gmail.com. 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you come back next month to find out what we’ve baked up with March’s secret ingredient.
