TWD: Mocha-Walnut Marbled Bundt Cake

I'm a little out of order this evening...the real TWD pick was the Coconut Tea Cake, but I thought it was a little more "Eastery" than the Mocha-Walnut Marbled Bundt Cake, so I switched weeks. You'll see the Coconut Tea Cake next Tuesday. Sorry for any confusion!
Anyway, this was delicious! I loved the flavors...walnut, chocolate, and mocha. It was a breeze to put together, and this is the most luck I've ever had with marbling. I didn't quite get the gingko leaf design that Dorie talks about, but at least there are two distinct colors!
This is one of those cakes that doesn't really look all that impressive sitting on the counter, but you can't help but take a slice every time you walk by. That's why it went to the bank with David. I'd rather the bank employees cut slivers all day long than me! This cake will definitely be made again. This is a perfect example of why I love bundt cakes!
This tasty little cake was picked by a fellow Erin...the one over at When In Doubt, Leave It at 350. She doesn't have the recipe up, since it was originally picked for next week, but she'll have it up on April 6th. Thanks, Erin, for a wonderful choice!
Now, an announcement. Please stop back by late tomorrow afternoon/evening. There's something exciting going on at The Sweet Life! See you then!

  9. Pretty!!! I used pecans instead of walnuts and ran out of espresso powder so I used cocoa. Again I turned the recipe into cupcakes as I did with the Coconut Tea Cake. I just love cupcakes!!
