    Bundt cake vs regular cake

    The particularity of bundt cake recipes compares to regular cakes is the unique shape which is similar to a doughnut and for that you need to use a bundt pan. My favorite and most popular brand of all is Nordicware which have very pretty shapes and in addition gives every time an incredible result of baking.

    But we also notice in this kind of bundt cakes as in my recipe of lemon bundt cake, it' s texture is dense and moist which would be closer to a pound cake. And that's clearly what we love most about these recipe they melt in your mouth and are so comforting with is topping glaze.

    How to make the chocolate glaze

    Prepare the chocolate glaze just before serving. I recommend using semi-sweet chocolate in a bar or chocolate chips with heavy cream. The ratio is simple, half and half, to which you can add a teaspoon of vegetable oil for a shiny glaze.

    For the process you can either use the microwave to heat all the ingredients or over a double boiler, which is what I prefer and explain here because I can control the texture of the glaze and not overheat the chocolate.

    In a double boiler

    Place the chopped chocolate or chocolate chips with the heavy cream and oil in a bowl and place over a saucepan containing a little water. The water should not come in contact with the bowl, the steam will melt the ingredients.

    Heat over medium heat and stir constantly with a wooden spoon until the chocolate is completely melted and you have a fluid mixture without lumps and very smooth.

    Use the glaze immediately on your cake, you can reheat it a bit in the microwave if you find the texture thickens.

      This look so delicious. I am a chocolate lover and I must make this lol. Can you use cake flour? I’m not a coffee drinker can I use espresso powder? If yes how much expresso powder?

        Hi Sonya, yes you can use cake flour. For the coffee if you don't have a coffee machine you can use espresso powder about the equivalent of a stick 2 teaspoons.

        Thank you for your message, so I used dark brown sugar and about the measurements, it's important to weigh the ingredients to make this recipe work, but I'll still convert the amounts to cups .
