Chocolate Syrup Bundt Cake-using chocolate syrup added into the batter makes for a rich deep chocolate flavor!
I say it over and over. I love a good bundt cake. It’s one of the easiest cakes you can make and it always looks pretty.
I always have at least one bundt cake in the freezer just in case company comes by. Or I need a slice of cake, now!
You can serve it plain or dress it up with frosting, glaze or lots of drizzle and toppings.
This cake is simple to make.
Make your vanilla batter. Then add Chocolate syrup to part of the batter. Just the two layers.
The will magically fuse together during baking.
Even drizzling is easy. Her’s my trick. Two cups and two plastic bags. Then just snip the corner (be ready to drizzle when you do this)
A simple back and forth, back and forth…
And you have a gorgeous cake within a minute or two.
You could just leave it as is but the toasted coconut on top is not only a tasty complement to this cake, but it turns this cake into something stunning.
