Chocolate Bundt Cake

WINNER: Your best chocolate cake.


★★★★☆ 

Below is my sister's review of the chocolate bundt cake from the winter chapter.  As I mentioned, I gave up chocolate for Lent and could not bake this, so she reviewed it for me. 

Review:  I competed this recipe and clean up in around 25 minutes which is one of the highlights of this cake (I should note that the baking time was about 40 min).  This was an easy and basic chocolate cake.  I wasn’t amazed by the cake but I did enjoy the flavor and how moist it was. I enjoyed a slice with a glass of milk but I think I would serve it to company with some fresh berries and whip cream.  It was a bonus that I had all the ingredients in my pantry (except for the buttermilk), so it only cost me a few dollars.  

Tips:  I modified a few things.  I used low fat buttermilk instead of sour milk and Hershey Cocoa powder instead of the dutch process cocoa powder since it was in my pantry. 

What I learned:  Sour milk and buttermilk are pretty much the same thing.

Final thought:  Overall, I would make this again, depending on my audience.
