Erin of When in Doubt…Leave it at 350 chose Mocha-Walnut Marbled Bundt Cake for our next Tuesdays with Dorie recipe. I actually made this recipe before last week's Coconut Tea Cake but I decided to follow the posting order even though we could do either one because of the Easter holiday this weekend.
I made half of a recipe and got 4 good size mini bundts out of it. I probably could have gotten six out of it but they would have been pretty small. This size was a nice single person portion.
I did the minimal marbling option and was quite happy with the results. I'm not sure if it's in a ginkgo leaf pattern but it looks pretty nice to me. Taste wise it was very nice. I liked the subtle pecan flavor without the crunchy bits (though I'm sure that would be good too). I didn't get a very strong coffee flavor but not being a huge coffee fan, it wasn't a big deal. The chocolate did get a boost from the coffee I think, it seemed chocolatey-er (ummm...yeah...chocolatey-er).
The cake was also incredibly moist. I took it to work for breakfast a few days and it was just as moist the third day as it was the first. This was definitely a make again cake. Thanks Erin for the delicious pick!

Your bundts look perfect!! I always tend to overdo it on the marbling, so I love your effect!
Aren't minis great? I really enjoyed the mild coffee flavor and the cake itself was quite tasty.
Your mini bundts looks great. I was also eating this for breakfast. Thanks for baking with me :)
