Okay, the baker needs help. I want a chocolate bundt cake recipe that’s _ **scratch** _. I have several chocolate cake recipes, but do you have any that you feel fits the bundt pan better than layers? I hope to find one that isn’t fluffy, but of a denser texture. If Dopers can help me out I’d appreciate it! ---

Here’s one from a college friend. I’ve never made it, but when she did it was fabulous: Chocolate Cream Cheese Bundt Cake Batter: 2 c. sugar 1 c. oil 2 eggs 3 c. flour ¾ c. cocoa 2 t. soda 2 t. baking powder 1 t. salt 1 c. hot coffee 1 c. buttermilk 1 t. vanilla Filling: ½ c. sugar 1 t. vanilla 8 oz. cream cheese 1 egg ½ c. coconut 1 c. chocolate chips Frosting: 9 T. cocoa (½ c. + 1 T.) 1 T. vanilla 6 T. butter 6 T. boiling water 4 c. powdered sugar (approx.) Combine filling ingredients and set aside. Combine sugar, eggs, and oil and beat 1 minute. Add remaining ingredients and beat on high speed for 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour ¾ of batter into well greased and lightly floured Bundt pan. Spoon filling over batter and top with remaining batter. Bake at 350F for 65-75 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool cake in pan for 30 minutes, then remove. When completely cool, mix frosting ingredients to spreading consistency and frost cake. ---

This is perhaps my most popular cake. I modify it into a two layer cake…and sometimes use a raspberry or cherry liquer instead of vanilla. But it’s great in the original form, too. It calls for a tube pan, but a bundt pan will work very well. You can replace the heavy cream with plain yoghurt for a slightly healthier version. And it’s definitely on the dense side. Very rich. Hershey Bar Cake 2 sticks butter 2 cups sugar 2.5 cups plain flour 2 tsp vanilla .5 tsp baking soda 1 cup heavy cream 4 eggs 16 oz Hershey syrup 7 oz Hershey bars Melt Hershey bars in syrup in double boiler. Cream sugar and butter; add eggs one at a time. Add melted chocolate, then flour/baking soda and cream/vanilla alternately. Bake 1.5-2 hours in tube pan at 300. -D/a
