I looked at various bundt cake recipes and then I came up with my own based on what I had in my cupboard. The result was surprisingly good in my daughter's own words: the right amount of chocolate and super moist. She wanted the recipe to make one for the office xmas potluck. I simply served it with a homemade raspberry sauce. I had frozen juice made from my garden's berries, so I just heated it and stirred in 2 teaspoons cornstarch, et voila!
Ingredients
10 squares unsweetened chocolate (10 oz)
¾ cup butter (1.5 stick)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs (yolk and white separated)
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup rum
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Butter and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan.
- Sift together the flour and baking powder.
- Place the chocolate and butter in a metal bowl over a saucepan filled with a little of water (to make a double boiler). Heat the sauce pan over low heat to melt the chocolate, stirring from time to time. Let it cool.
- While beating, add the mayonnaise, sugar, vanilla, egg yolks and rum.
- Gradually add flour mixture alternating with the milk.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks then gently fold them into the batter mixture.
- Pour into the pan. Bake in the middle of the oven for about 10 minutes at 375 F then lower the heat to 350 F (165 degrees C) and bake for a total of 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean.
- Let cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
Serve with raspberry sauce or chocolate sauce. You can also just dust with sugar and serve.
