Chocolate Velvet Pound Cake
It's Day #2 of I Like Big Bundts - a crazy marathon of Bundts. I hope you have November 15th circled on your calendar as National Bundt Day!
I used my mini bundt pans to make these chocolate bundts. I have one that has 12 mini-bundts without the hole (more like a pretty upside down cupcake) and one that has 6 mini-bundts with holes in the center.
Topped with chocolate ganache, this is rich pound cake with a tight crumb.
This is from the beautiful book The Art and Soul of Baking by Cindy Mushet and the folks at Sur La Table. I'm glad I bought it...it is now full of post-it notes! It got a Starred review in Publisher's Weekly!Chocolate Velvet Pound Cake

These do look rich, but oh so good. No one could say no to chocolate.
Wow... That chocolate velvet is on my list since I saw it on the book... I've got to do it now!!
Wow...I want to eat this and it is only 10am my time...wow.
Those look so rich and delicious...now I'm really in a chocolate mood today.
that cake is food porn!
This looks yummy - I don't have any mini bundt pans and the original recipe doesn't state a pan size (that I could find, anyways) - what's the volume of your mini and individual pans - I'm guessing 1 cup and 1/2 cup? I have several mini loaf pans that might work as a substitution, but the volume varies from pan to pan, lol.
I really want a mini bundt pan. I love this recipe. I want to kiss this recipe with tongue. It looks so freakin good!
these look yummy....! chocolate ganache is my favorite icing these days---so simple yet complex at the same time....can you do a bundt with white chocolate ganache?? Looking forward to the rest of your "bundt" posts..!

Oh man - this is one of my favorite cookbooks. So many great classic recipes. I made this cake recently into a loaf and it turned out awesome. Your mini bundt here looks super cute.
The ganache on top looks like heaven.
Mmmmm ganache :) I need to order a mini bundt pan...I can't find one anywhere around here!
I bought a mini bundt pan in the States during our vacation to Pennsylvania, and this recipe is now in the oven baking merrily away. It looks totally decadent :D
