Well I’ll tell you now that this chocolaty cake will go on your favorites list, it’s that delicious.
This year I’ll be adding this chocolaty bundt cake to our Thanksgiving Day dessert table. Not to take away from the traditional pies, but sometimes a little chocolate in the mix is just so good.
A few key ingredients are needed for this Double Chocolate Buttermilk Bunt Cake to keep it’s decadent status.
First, make sure add the coffee to really bring out that chocolaty flavor. Feel free to use regular or decaf. Second, use full fat buttermilk and cream so your cake will have a really moist texture.
I plan on serving this cake for Thanksgiving so I added the spiced pecans. Add whatever nuts you’d like or use none at all if that’s your preference.
