Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
- Serves 8.
- 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
- 1 cup superfine sugar
- 4 medium eggs, beaten
- 1 1/4 cups self-rising flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- Topping
- 5 ounces bittersweet or semisweet (dark cooking) chocolate
- 3 tablespoons butter
- Maraschino cherries
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch ring or Bundt pan and line the bottom with greased parchment (baking) paper.
- Cream together the butter and sugar until very light and smooth. Slowly incorporate the eggs; then fold in the flour and the cocoa, mixing until thoroughly blended. Spoon into the cake pan.
- Bake for about 50 minutes, or until the cake comes away from the side of the pan and feels firm on the top. Test the center by piercing with a thin skewer-it should come out dry. Cool in the pan for a few minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool.
- For topping: slowly melt the chocolate in a small saucepan over simmering water or in a microwave oven. Stir in the butter. Pour over the top of the cake, allowing it to flow down the sides. Decorate with cherries.
