Chocolate buttermilk bundt cake with chocolate sauce

November 15, 2016 Published by Dina

This is a light and moist cake that keeps well although I doubt it will last long. You can fancy it up with a chocolate glaze or serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce (recipe below) as a casual dessert.

Cake recipe adapted from Martha Stewart.
