COZIEST CHOCOLATE BUNDT CAKE

When you think of fall baking, the first flavors that usually come to mind are apple and pumpkin. And I love me a good pumpkin treat or apple pie. But I am a chocolate girl at heart, and sometimes you just need to be able to dig into a rich, cozy, piece of chocolate cake. I partnered with Walmart today to share my version of a chocolate cake with a cozy, autumnal twist.

It is a mashup of a traditional spice cake and a decadent chocolate sour cream bundt. You get the best of both worlds. Satisfy your chocolate craving while getting your basic fall spice needs at the same time!

I went hunting for my bundt pan a few weeks ago, and it had somehow disappeared since it was last used. I logged into Walmart.com and headed straight for the home department. I have found so many amazing pieces for my kitchen from Walmart Home. They have plenty of quality items at amazing prices. I found this beautiful bundt pan and it was at my door in under three days! I love that they do quick and easy shipping or in store pickup for lots of items!

This cake is super simple to make, but has a few key ingredients you won’t want to skip. You can even make the entire thing in the pot! Sour cream is essential in keeping this cake moist and tender. Ginger gives it plenty of spice. And the spiced drizzle is the literal icing on this cake.
