Well, what's left of it anyway.
With Jalaine and her friend Charlie in town (and with Friday off, for a change!) I decided to do some baking. I've actually never done a bundt before, so it was different! I used a recipe from The Kitchn and am pretty happy with it. I'm not sure where the root beer part comes in - I couldn't taste it. But I also couldn't find root beer with cane sugar and just used IBC. Maybe that would have made a difference. It's very dense, very moist, and very, very chocolatey. We devoured pretty ruthlessly. Must have with milk.
Given that I dislike the simultaneous taste of root beer and chocolate, I don't know that the non-root beer taste is a great loss.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious if this recipe would work by substituting coke-with-cane-sugar for the root beer. Granted, a coke and chocolate combination is not an improvement over a root beer and chocolate combination...
Apparently it was very delicious! I love the picture.
I was wondering about the coke thing too! Someone I knew in college used to make amazing coca-cola cake so I may have to try that substitution.
ReplyDeleteDo you not like root beer, chocolate, or just the combo?
I totally making this next week as my celebration for getting through the election season!
