Nutty, Chocolaty, Swirly Sour Cream Bundt Cake (Dorie Greenspan's recipe)
I was never the student who skipped ahead to the next assignment, or finished the chapter before it was due. I was usually finishing up on my way to class.
But my love of the Bundt has put me ahead of the Tuesdays with Dorie group. We'll be baking for a few more years to get through all the recipes and I just couldn't wait because I was craving me another Bundt.
A sour cream cake batter is made and 1/2 the "swirl" added. The swirl is sugar, walnuts, bittersweet chocolate, raisins, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Dorie says to scoop the rest of the batter in the pan, dig a little trench and then place the rest of the swirl in the opening. Finally, cover it the best you can (it won't cover everything). I wasn't very good at this and might try to save more batter to place it on top of the swirl instead.
Just before a simple topping of powdered sugar rounds out this delicious Bundt.

It sounds so enticing!
OMG! Would love a slice with coffee right about now. Looks fantastic! Everything that goes into it sounds so delicious!
Gorgeous! The powdered sugar looks like snow sitting on top of the cake. I can't wait to make this one :)
There are so many Dorie recipes I want to make too! The bundt looks good.
can i tell you that i'm shocked that no one has picked a bundt yet?!? this looks soooo good!
Yumm your bundt looks so good.
Do you think it would be good without the nuts? My hubs is allergic and I do not need to be tempted with a whole cake for myself! It looks so good!
That looks great. I love a nice streusely bundt. I bet that would be great with a mocha glaze too - a real coffee cake.
I have her book baking ffrom my home. Well just bought it last week and i can't stope reading them.
This cake looks so yumm yumm moist delicious.
Maria, It is yummy without the raisins or nuts. My co-worker can't eat nuts and seeds so I made her a mini cake sans the nuts and raisins - and she really liked it! - mary
What a beautiful perfectly shape bunt cake.
Cheers,

I have a hard time believing as an librarian you weren't the most astute student. With the care you put into your culinary creations, I bet you were teacher's pet!
wow what a nice cake! I would be eager to bake this one too :)
The swirl is gorgeous and I'm sure also delicious! Love the sour cream in it too.
Cute blog!
I checked the rules, and you're only allowed to bake ahead if you send a piece to all of your blogging friends. Just so you know. (Is this really the name of this cake? I hope so!)
Yum! I love raisins and chocolate together, and nutmeg is one of my favorite spices. Your cake looks gorgeous.
This looks incredible!! I'm tempted to skip ahead, too. And now...I just might!
You certainly are on a bundt kick lately. Bundts are my kind of cakes. Not only are they delicious, but they are easy to make look good.
ooo.. I've tried this recipe too. and it was so good! your photos do justify that fact even more! YUm
This bundt cake looks fabulous. No wonder you're skipping ahead of the TWD group! I actually had my Baking From My Home to Yours open to this bundt cake a couple of days ago, and now, I just have to make it. Yours looks so delicious!
So, now you get an as-yet undetermined week off!
Wow, this looks wonderful, I love the dark edges compared to the chocolate studded interior.
Oh that does sound yummy
The last photo is so clear I feel like I can smell that cake!!
I am hungry just looking at the photos! Delicious looking cake!
I am again DROOLING at that perfect bundt cake. It doesn't get better than that!
Wow!! Looks fantastic!!
