Need a "sit-on-the-counter-nibblin'-bundt-cake" without nuts.

[Hoggirl]

We have friends coming in the first weekend of October. I have all my food stuff figured out except that I really like to have what I call a "nibblin'" cake sitting out under a cake dome available. However, the hubby part of this pair does not care for nuts. I was kind of thinking of a pound cake, but wondered if that was too plain??? He is a fan of chocolate, I know. But, I wouldn't want anything too goopey with glaze or anything. Just the kind of cake you can walk by and take a slice off of and carry around. I guess I could do brownies, but I am already doing oatmeal scotcheroo cookies. Plus, I wanted something more dessert-y b/c this cake would serve as dessert the first night and then just be available on the counter the rest of the long weekend. At least this is what I have in mind. Anyone have a yummy bundt cake with no nuts?

I have a chocolate cake that is really easy and good for snacking, because it holds together well. It is Inside Out Chocolate Bundt Cake. Seemingly a recipe from Jell-o and Baker's chocolate. The recipe I have uses no nuts, so you can just ignore that in the linked recipe. There is no glaze, but it looks very pretty with a light dusting of powdered sugar.

Did you notice that at the bottom of this yummy-sounding recipe there was a link for "how I lost 90 pounds?" Too funny! Bet this person didn't do that eating chocolate cake! :lol:

 

Thanks for sharing this!

I may try an amalgamation of this one and Sebastian's! But, you know what? I can no longer find the chocolate raspberry chips (are you talking about the one's that Hershey's put out?). I used to use them all the time to make chocolate raspberry fudge.

 

thanks for sharing!

Wow! What I like already about this cake is that it makes one serving and has no calories! :rolleyes:

Yes, I use the ones made by Hershey's. I think I bought them last at Walmart.

 

My dd would like chocolate raspberry fudge! Thanks for the idea.

I always wondered what the original source was. I asked a friend for the recipe about 20 years ago.

[classicHSmom]

Have you considered a rum cake? They are usually made with nuts but you could easily leave them out. I also make a chocolate pound cake that's extremely rich, dense and somewhat brownie-like. If you are interested in either of these recipes, send me a pm.

Our Wal-mart didn't carry these last year! I use the microwave fudge recipe from the back of the marshmallow creme jar, btw.

Thanks for the tip. I have been using the stove top marshmellow cream recipe for so many years I have it memorized, so I haven't even looked at the jar to see what is new! I think I am going to have my dc try the microwave version this winter. They are still nervous about using the candy thermometer.

How about a banana bread or pumpkin bread, baked in a bundt pan and with a simple powdered sugar glaze?

 

I love to make quick breads in a bundt pan! Find a recipe for banana bread made with sour cream...yum

Kentucky Butter Cake!!!

We love this cake...everyone I have ever served this cake loves it too! It is not for the faint of heart in terms of fat and calories, but it is for a special treat, right? Serve it with whipped cream and berries for dessert and then snack the rest of the weekend. Not chocolate, but then no chocolate crumbs spilled on the floor. :)

I made BOTH the white chocolate pumpkin cake and the triple chocolate cake. Both were FABULOUS! I wound up doing the chocolate for our guests since I had done something pumpkin the last time they were here. Just wanted to post that these are both now in my permanent file! Thanks, again!

[unsinkable]

I also made the pumpkin cake --- delish!

 

4 stars

 

(I had about half a can each of pumpkin and evap milk leftover so I mixed it with 2 eggs, some brown sugar & cinnamon to make a custard. The texture was a bit strange but the taste was good.)

[Donovans4]

check and see if your library has the book Bundt Cake Bliss by Susanna Short, a Minnesota author (MN is home of the bundt pan!) Lots of great recipes in this book.
