I know the holidays are over and we usually go for something healthy to kick off the New Year on this column, but I really couldn’t resist tempting you all with one last slice of chocolate cake. Why? Because for most of our readers it is still winter and the cold spell means we are spending a lot of time with our hands wrapped around hot beverages. And what goes great with a hot cup of coffee or tea? Cake. And Netflix. I thought a splendid Double Chocolate Bundt Cake by blogger-baker extraordinaire Cenk Sönmezsoy of the blog Cafe Fernando was in order. This recipe appears in his recently released cookbook The Artful Baker: Extraordinary Recipes From an Obsessive Home Baker, a treasure trove of baking recipes which attest to the adjective obsessive — and will keep your sweet tooth satisfied through all four seasons. —Kristina
Why Cenk loves this recipe: This is the chocolate cake of my dreams! It has a deep chocolate flavor— thanks to the dark chocolate and blooming the cocoa powder with a mixture of heavy cream and strongly brewed coffee — a delicate and moist crumb, and a rich ganache glaze that adds just the right amount of fancy.
