Dark Chocolate Bundt Cake With Wintry White Icing image

This sounds so good! Was going through the pile of papers (that never goes away) on my desk and found this recipe that I'd torn out of a Southern Living magazine. It was submitted by Jerry Mills of Birmingham, AL (where I'm from!). Haven't tried it yet, but am posting to help get rid of the paper pile on my desk!

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 ounces semisweet chocolate, coarsley chopped
1 (16 ounce) can chocolate syrup
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar
3 -4 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at HIGH for 30-second intervals until melted (about 1 1/2 minutes total). Stir in chocolate syrup until smooth.
  • Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition.
  • Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Add to butter mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition. Stir in vanilla and melted chocolate just until blended. Pour batter into a greased and floured 14-cup Bundt pan.
  • Bake at 325° for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan on a wire rack 15 minutes; remove from pan to wire rack, and let cool 30 minutes or until completely cool. Garnish with wintry-white icing.
  • To make icing, stir together all ingredients until smooth.
