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!

ReplyDeleteLooks great, as always, Mary! Mine actually has a lot in common with yours--I used the same pan, it looks like. And I did the extra espresso & water substitution for the coffee, too. =)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bundt Mary - I'm sure you were psyched about this week's selection :)
