Blackforest Bundt Cake #BundtBakers

Blackforest bundt cake
To say that the blackforest is our favorite cake would be an understatement. Cherry, chocolate and whipped cream create a magical combination. Though I have posted my recipe for a traditional Blackforest cake, I was really looking forward to convert  the cake into a bundt cake. Hence the Blackforest Bundt cake. This is my first time posting with the Bundt Bakers and after a couple of tries at bundt baking ( last month was coconut ) I have arrived at the following life changing decisions.
1) Buy a decent Bundt pan. I have no idea where I got the bundt pan that I have right now. It just doesn’t impart the beautiful ridges that bundt pans usually do. So please feel free to mention your favorite bundt pan.
2) Never bake a bundt cake on the night of  posting. Yes I know Kelly from Passion Kneaded  would raise her eyebrows. I just lied to her yesterday that I was going to bake it Yesterday.  But I didn’t. I baked it today.
3) Never Lie about  plans to bake a bundt cake. It’s bad bundt Karma. Plus they will catch you.
4) Learn how to photograph a Bundt Cake.  This was one difficult cake to photograph.  Add the added pressure of last minute baking, and photo taking and post writing. Back to decision no 2.
So there you have my story. Now that my life has been irrevocably changed by the bundt cake decisions, I am hoping I will do better next time.
