This weekend we were invited to a family potluck and I thought this Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake would be perfect! Besides, I wanted to bring a homemade dessert that didn’t take all day to make and enough to feed whoever showed up. I love chocolate and I knew the young crowd would be happy with it too.
The recipe calls for a sugary pecan topping that you lay inside the bottom of the bundt pan. I am not a huge nut fan and knowing it was a group of people we didn’t know – I decided to err on the side of caution and leave off the nuts. You just never know if someone has a nut allergy and better to be safe than sorry.
The sugary topping made a delicious crusty top. I loved it! I added some fresh strawberries and I forgot the whipped cream – that would have been a nice addition!
Everything in Moderation, plus cake is always a good idea!
Are you thinking, Ridgely has been telling me about her healthy lifestyle and now she is talking about eating cake? Yes, I eat cake, have my wine and I’m still loving my cookies! It is all about balance. Knowing I have a system that keeps me on track makes it much easier. If I gain a few pounds, I have a safety net that gets me back to my happy weight. I feel so much better and it really works!
Need a crowd pleaser? You can’t go wrong with this recipe and if you are not a chocolate lover, try this Apple Spice Walnut Bundt Cake.
