Chocolate-cinnamon bundt cake



This morning I wanted to bake something with chocolate, but I wasn't sure of what I could do because the shops are closed. So it had to be something that required cocoa powder, as I don't have any chocolate at home. Fortunately, after going through a few of my 'to-do' recipes I found this one from The Food Librarian. It calls for a Mocha icing, but I used plain sugar instead because the chocolate chips were the bitter chocolate ones, so the resulting cake is not sweet enough (I used A LOT of chocolate chips XD). Anyways, it's really good! very chocolatey and soft, with a nice coffee aftertaste.

It looks tiny because I only made it with HALF of the amounts, as I don't want the cake to go too dry after 2 days standing in the fridge (my parents are advised to not eat much sugar, sooooo...).

Banana Chocolate Marble Bundt



Last week I wasn't able to spend much time with my boyfriend, so I told him that I would bake a bundt cake as a compensation ;-) I gave him The Food Librarian's list of bundts so that he could choose the one that he prefered. And the rest is history...

As in Spain there's no sour cream (or at least it isn't sold anywhere near my home or workplace) I had to make my own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to 250ml of heavy cream.

Finally, the bundt resulted super tasty! The recipe is here. This time I was lucky and the cake resulted nearly perfect at first attempt. The only flaw is that I should had left it 5 more minutes in the oven. Anyway, it was still delicious! ^^
