Hot Chocolate Habanero Bundt Cake

11/19/15

Hot Chocolate Habanero Bundt Cake

BNB_HotChocolateBundtCake_1115_1I 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.

BNB_HotChocolateBundtCake_1115_2Well, 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.

BNB_HotChocolateBundtCake_1115_3I 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.

BNB_HotChocolateBundtCake_1115_4And 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.

    Such a pretty bundt with the two colors and then the spice intrigues me. I have done this before with heat and chocolate and loved it.

    A pepper hotter than a habanero?? I have not heard of this either. Nor have I heard of a chocolate habanero cake but it certainly sounds wonderful.

    What a gorgeous cake, Linda! I’m literally stunned at the duo-tone thing. I totally want to make this now…and I’m loving the spicy chocolate addition here. How exactly do you pipe the 2 colors into the pan? In horizontal layers or in vertical “strips”? I’m totally intrigued!

      Thanks, David. I add each color in a separate piping bag, then pipe the batter into the cracks of the pan. When it’s filled, I add the other alternating layer.It does take patience and I missed few times so I had to clean it up and start all over again. Hope that helps 🙂
