Mocha Walnut Marbled Bundt Cake - Tuesdays with Dorie
For this week's Tuesdays with Dorie selection, Erin of When in Doubt…Leave it at 350 picked Mocha-Walnut Marbled Bundt Cake on pages 180 and 181 of Dorie's book, Baking: From My Home to Yours.

Whoo hoo. A Bundt without coconut. As you know, I Like Big Bundts and this was a very pretty one!

A swirl of chocolate and espresso is the dark layer, and a rich vanilla pound cake is the white part. Ground walnuts are in the batter giving it a nice texture and depth of flavor.

I ground up my walnuts in a food processor. The recipe calls for 1/4 c of coffee and 1 teaspoon espresso powder. I don't have coffee lying around so I added 1/4 c hot water and 1 1/2 t espresso powder; the "mocha" wasn't that strong so I would increase that next time or be sure to use brewed coffee.

You hit the nail on the head describing how the walnuts worked in the bundt. Loved your handiwork on this chica!

Ah, a perfect bundt cake! I always think of the My Big Fat Greek Wedding scene with the bundt cake - too funny!

Di said... [Reply to comment]

Looks great, as always, Mary! Mine actually has a lot in common with yours--I used the same pan, it looks like. And I did the extra espresso & water substitution for the coffee, too. =)

Beautiful bundt Mary - I'm sure you were psyched about this week's selection :)

A perfect cake! Lovely marbling and texture.

Unknown said... [Reply to comment]

What a pretty bundt (and cake stand)! I think an extra coffee kick is a good choice with this one.

Katrina said... [Reply to comment]

Awesome job, as always! The chocolate in the slice of cake almost looks like a silhouette of someone. ;)

Susan said... [Reply to comment]

Gorgeous! I would kick up the coffee next time too, and I used coffee and espresso.

Willa said... [Reply to comment]

I made your chocolate cinnamon bundt last night for friends who've just had a baby and they loved it! I think the mocha walnut marbled bundt could be next...
