Variations of this recipe

Change the frosting. I included a cream cheese frosting that you can drizzle on top, but if you want more chocolate make some homemade chocolate ganache and drizzle that on top instead of the cream cheese frosting.

Skip the frosting. If you don’t want to make frosting a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top is a great alternative.

Tips for Making this Recipe

Grease the pan well. Grease the baking pan well. This is important in making sure the cake does not stick to the pan when baking and makes it easier to remove when done baking.

Cool Cake Completely. It is important that the cake is fully cooled before you start frosting them otherwise you will have issues with frosting as you frost the cake.

Use a Silicone Bundt cake pan. Using a metal one if that is all you have is fine, but if you are planning in advance grab a silicone bundt pan it makes removing the cake much easier.

Can I bake this in a baking dish?

Yes! If you do not have a bundt cake pan you can use a high-sided 9×13 baking dish. You will want to make sure you cut the cooking time to about 35 minutes.

How to Store Homemade Cake

It is best to store the homemade cake in an airtight container on the counter. The cake is best to be enjoyed within 48 hours of making. It won’t be bad to eat after 48 hours but they will start to dry out and not be as fresh.
