Mocha Walnut Marbled Bundt Cake - Tuesdays with Dorie

For this week's Tuesdays with Dorie selection, Erin of When in Doubt…Leave it at 350 picked Mocha-Walnut Marbled Bundt Cake on pages 180 and 181 of Dorie's book, Baking: From My Home to Yours.

Whoo hoo. A Bundt without coconut. As you know, I Like Big Bundts and this was a very pretty one!

A swirl of chocolate and espresso is the dark layer, and a rich vanilla pound cake is the white part. Ground walnuts are in the batter giving it a nice texture and depth of flavor.

I ground up my walnuts in a food processor. The recipe calls for 1/4 c of coffee and 1 teaspoon espresso powder. I don't have coffee lying around so I added 1/4 c hot water and 1 1/2 t espresso powder; the "mocha" wasn't that strong so I would increase that next time or be sure to use brewed coffee.

Thanks Erin for a great pick! Be sure to check out the other Tuesdays with Dorie bakers!
