Chocolate Cherry Fudge Bundt Recipes

CHOCOLATE CHERRY FUDGE BUNDT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare a 12-cup Bundt pan using butter and flour and set aside.
• Pour the cake mix into a medium bowl and whisk to break up any clumps. Add the oil, eggs, and water. Beat at medium speed until well mixed. Fold in the cherry pie filling and chocolate chips. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out of the cake clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then invert onto serving platter to finish cooling.
• Once the cake is cooled, prepare the chocolate glaze. Place all glaze ingredients in a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Cool for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the glaze is thickened, but still pourable. Stir until completely smooth and then drizzle on the cake.
• When eaten right away, the cake is very tender. We prefer to wait a few hours, or even until the following day, when the cake is more dense and fudgy.

MINI CHOCOLATE-CHERRY BUNDT CAKES

Steps:

• For the cakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Chop 6 of the maraschino cherries and toss with a small amount of flour to coat in a small bowl. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar and salt and set aside. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, cherry syrup, baking soda, vanilla and egg with a fork and set aside.
• Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a small pan. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat; add the cocoa and whisk to combine. Add the boiling water to the cocoa mixture and allow to bubble for a moment, then turn off the heat.
• Pour the cocoa mixture into the flour mixture. Stir together for a moment to cool the chocolate, then pour in the egg mixture. Mix in the flour-coated cherries.
• Divide the batter among the cavities of a 6-cavity nonstick mini Bundt pan and bake until an inserted cake tester comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the cakes cool in the pan briefly before removing them to a cooling rack placed over a baking sheet.
• For the chocolate ganache: Heat the cream in a small saucepan until very hot, then add the vanilla. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate in a heatproof bowl; stir completely to melt the chocolate.
• Pour the ganache over the cakes. Chop the remaining 6 cherries and sprinkle them over the top. Allow the ganache to set before serving.
