My family loves this Bundt cake. We always make this for Easter. It's best when served warm and with a cup of hot chocolate or coffee.

While this is called a cake, since it has yeast, it's more of a bread-like texture. Once baked, it's light, fluffy, and full of chocolate. This is not overly sweet, so the flavor of the dark chocolate does come through. A nice Easter dessert.

How To Make chocolate easter bundt cake

Test Kitchen Tips

Keep an eye on the dough while it mixes in the blender. The dough will be sticky, but you don't want it too sticky or liquidy. If needed, add extra flour 1/4 cup at a time.

Step 1

Sift the flour and add salt, yeast, sugar, eggs, butter, and warm milk. Mix in the mixer with the special attachment for yeast dough (the hook). At this point, the dough will be sticky.

Step 2

Cover the dough-filled bowl with a kitchen towel and leave it in a warm place for about 1 hour or until double in size.
Step 3

Take out the dough on the flour sprinkled counter and work on it for a bit (maybe for 2 minutes). Sprinkle flour if necessary.
Step 4

Roll out the dough into a rectangular shape that is 12 x 16 inches. Spread the cooled chocolate on it, leaving 1 inch from the edge.
Step 5

Grease a 10 inch (about 2.5 to 3 quarts) Bundt cake pan and sprinkle with flour.
Step 6

Roll the dough, like a jelly roll, starting from the longer side. Pinch the ends together and make sure the sewn side is on the bottom of the pan. Put the dough in a greased Bundt cake pan. Cover with a towel for 30 minutes.
Step 7

Bake in a 400 degree preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes. On the middle rack.
Step 8

For the frosting, warm up all ingredients in a small pan or double boiler until chocolate is melted. Let it cool a little and frost the cake. Enjoy! It is so good.
