Kicked up Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake

"Found this in an old Cooking Light magazine from 1999. I love the addition of the espresso granules to kick up a standard cake mix! Simple to make but tastes like you spent so much more time!"

  1. This was really excellent and exceedingly moist! I made this exactly as posted. I found that the coffee flavor was really not discernible, but I think intensified the chocolate. I dusted this with some confectioner's sugar and served it with some fresh whipped cream. Delicious!
     
  2. I love, love, love the simplicity of this cake. It was so easy to make yet the final results were a moist, rich, and very dense chocolate cake with a hint of coffee. I was not able to find a cake mix without pudding in it at the market in town, so my cake might have turned out a bit denser then normal. I did not have semi-sweet chocolate chips, so I subbed 60% bitter sweet chocolate chips. I then topped the cake with a dusting of powdered sugar, a few white chocolate chips and thin strips of candied orange peel. I already have a few requesting this cake for their birthday cake this year. Thanks for posting this tasty recipe Melissa. Made and reviewed for the Newest Zaar Tag (winter 2011)
