WHISKEY-SOAKED DARK CHOCOLATE BUNDT CAKE
This recipe is a more sophisticated (and boozier) version of one found in Maida Heatter's "Book of Great Chocolate Desserts." The cake is rich, dense and full of chocolate, with a spicy, peppery, burnt caramel tang.

Steps:
- Grease and flour a 10-cup-capacity Bundt pan (or two 8- or 9-inch loaf pans). Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In microwave oven or double boiler over simmering water, melt chocolate. Let cool.
- Put espresso and cocoa powders in a 2-cup (or larger) glass measuring cup. Add enough boiling water to come up to the 1 cup measuring line. Mix until powders dissolve. Add whiskey and salt; let cool.
- Using an electric mixer, beat 1 cup butter until fluffy. Add sugar and beat until well combined. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well between each addition. Beat in the vanilla extract, baking soda and melted chocolate, scraping down sides of bowl with a rubber spatula.
- On low speed, beat in a third of the whiskey mixture. When liquid is absorbed, beat in 1 cup flour. Repeat additions, ending with whiskey mixture. Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth top. Bake until a cake tester inserted into center of cake comes out clean, about 1 hour 10 minutes for Bundt pan (loaf pans will take less time, start checking them after 55 minutes).
- Transfer cake to a rack. Unmold after 15 minutes and sprinkle warm cake with more whiskey. Let cool before serving, garnished with confectioners' sugar if you like.

KITTENCAL'S MOIST ONE-BOWL DARK CHOCOLATE BUNDT CAKE
This recipe goes back over 30 years and I still make today, it's the most delicious dependable never-fail moist cake that is so easy to make, just dump everything into one large bowl, there is no need to beat eggs first, if like a slight orange/chocolate flavor use orange juice or you may use half juice and water you could use all water if desired ---my family calls this the Oreo cake as it tastes similar to the chocolate wafer part of an Oreo cookie, I sometimes slice in half and spread a vanilla frosting in the middle --- please make certain to generously grease and flour your pan, I always use my recipe#78579 for this --- this is one cake you will make over and over again and it's perfect to take to a potluck! --- for glaze see my recipe#315210

Steps:
- Set oven to 350 degrees F.
- Set rack to second-lowest position.
- Generously grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan (I use my Pan Release for this, make certain to well-grease your pan!).
- In an extra large mixing bowl, combine all the cake ingredients; mix on medium speed of an electric mixer for about 3 minutes or until very well combined.
- Bake for about 50-60 minutes or until the cake tests done (if using the streusal the cake will take slightly longer to bake).
- Cool in pan for about 15-20 minutes before removing.
- Frost or glaze if desired when completely cooled.
- STREUSAL; this is only optional and may be sprinkled in the middle of the batter, mix together 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts with 1/4 cup shredded coconut, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon and 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder.
WHISKEY-SOAKED DARK CHOCOLATE BUNDT CAKE
I came upon this in a roundabout manner. A post on Elise.com which led me to a Melissa Clark article in the Times and the discovery of why this recipe sounded so familiar--it's an updated version of a Maida Heater recipe from my youth. I use bourbon (Maker's Mark), Ms. Clark uses whiskey; I suspect that one is as good as the other -- and the bourbon version is a knockout! You can also play around and make this in smaller molds. A dollop of barely sweetened whipped cream, some 10x, a sprig of fresh mint, a little pool of rasberry coulis...various forms of heaven on a pretty plate.

DARK CHOCOLATE BUNDT CAKE WITH WINTRY WHITE ICING
This sounds so good! Was going through the pile of papers (that never goes away) on my desk and found this recipe that I'd torn out of a Southern Living magazine. It was submitted by Jerry Mills of Birmingham, AL (where I'm from!). Haven't tried it yet, but am posting to help get rid of the paper pile on my desk!

Steps:
- Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at HIGH for 30-second intervals until melted (about 1 1/2 minutes total). Stir in chocolate syrup until smooth.
- Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition.
- Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to butter mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition. Stir in vanilla and melted chocolate just until blended. Pour batter into a greased and floured 14-cup Bundt pan.
- Bake at 325° for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan on a wire rack 15 minutes; remove from pan to wire rack, and let cool 30 minutes or until completely cool. Garnish with wintry-white icing.
- To make icing, stir together all ingredients until smooth.
Tips:
- Use high-quality dark chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the cake will taste. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before serving. This will help the cake to set and develop its full flavor.
- Serve the cake with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include whipped cream, ice cream, or berries.
Conclusion:
This dark chocolate bundt cake is a rich, moist, and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized with your favorite toppings. Whether you are a chocolate lover or not, you are sure to enjoy this delicious cake.
