Been a while since I dug out the bundt pan, but here’s an easy tasty bundt I brought to a party this weekend.

Ready to party!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 stick unsalted butter
• 5 tablespoons cocoa (Dutch processed or not)
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 375 and grease a 10 or 12 cup bundt pan.

In a small pot on the stove, combine the water, oil, butter, and cocoa over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, then remove from the heat.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Stir in the chocolate mixture.

Add the buttermilk and baking soda and stir in.

In a small bowl or your measuring cup, whisk together the eggs and vanilla. Stir into the batter, then pour into the prepared pan.

Bake 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan – it separates from the edges if you give it time.

Dust with powdered sugar, or stir together some powdered sugar and milk to make a glaze.

Easy peasy! Even though there’s only 1/10th as much cinnamon as cocoa powder, it still comes through and makes a great flavor!
