Chocolate Bundt Cake With Peppermint Glaze

I love making this just when the Christmas season starts - it totally gets me in the spirit of the holidays! (This actually tastes better the next day, in my opinion)

Ingredients

10. Stir stir stir.
11. If it's too thick, add another couple drops of water.
