Chocolate Bundts



Chocolate Bundt


I know it doesn't look like a bundt cake, but this one haunted me ever since Branka published it on her site. I don't have a bundt cake pan, so I improvised :)

The recipe comes from Crave: A Passion for Chocolate and the genius shape from YOYO. I will not write about the shaping as she has step-by-step photos on her blog. The only thing I changed was that I've cut the dough into 3, instead of 4 stripes, as my bundts were so small. They are soo delicious. And the kids from the neighborhood loved them. And me, for making them :)


Chocolate Bundts


Muffin Bundt Cakes

500 g flour
1/2 tsp salt
60 g caster sugar
20 g dry yeast
2 large eggs
100 g melted butter
310 ml warm milk
100 g melted dark chocolate

Sift flour and salt. Add caster sugar, yeast, slightly beaten eggs and butter. Start adding milk a little by little. Add enough to be able to knead soft dough. I added less than the amount from the recipe, about 200 ml. Leave covered to double it's size.

Divide dough into 12 equal parts. Shape using YOYO's method and bake in a preheated oven on 200°C.

  16. Ooo sad će mene ovo progoniti dok god ih ne pokušam napravit. Stvarno prekrasno izgledaju! Brankinog kuglofa se sjećam i on mi se jako svidio, al ovi tvoji muffini su mi baš posebni
