Hot Chocolate Habanero Bundt Cake

Hot Chocolate Habanero Bundt Cake

I was venturing my way around Melissa’s produce in Atlanta when somebody handed me a scorpion chili – one of the hottest chili. Have you tried it? Me neither and I’m not that adventurous to give it a try, though I took a small pack home. I grew up in South East Asia, which also means chili is a must for almost every dish. From veggies to poultry and to many more items on the table, chili is always a good companion in every meal.

Well, it’s bundt cake time again! Luckily that scorpion chili has nothing to do with this bundt cake. This month is about hot chocolate. Have you had your hot chocolate yet? I love hot dark chocolate with marshmallow on top and I can keep on drinking that like no one else’s business. Anywho, this hot chocolate bundt cake deserves a special treatment. First because I use this heritage bundt cake pan.

I love how simple and swirly the texture is and this is part of Nordic Ware amazing cast aluminum bundt bakeware collection. I like using this bundt cake pan because it creates a uniform baking and browning. Plus it ensures even heating and comes with a nonstick surface so it’s easy to release the cake and to clean-up the pan afterwards.

And of course, since the holidays are here… and I try to skip glazing my cake, I decided to make it even more fun. Duo-tone bundt cake – to keep it simple and elegant. The chocolate has a spicy kick because that’s the hot chocolate habanero cake, while the vanilla gives a balance flavor to this. I am glad the husband was so impressed with the result and I’m doing my happy dance as we’re eating this.
