Beautiful Bundt
This is one of the easiest and best bundt cakes I have ever made.
It comes from the Food Librarian's blog and I followed her recipe exactly.
I will make it all the time (well, not all the time, that might be a health hazard).
The combination of cinnamon and chocolate is beautiful. It's so fragrant.
Only a dusting of powdered sugar is needed for the top.
