I have a bit of a bundt cake obsession. When I need to make a cake for a pot luck or a party or just because I want cake a bundt tends to be my go/to bake. They are easy to make and present so beautifully. Recently I really wanted cake and I had a jar of (affiliate link) Organic Cocoa Hazelnut Spread on hand. It was dairy free – not because we eschew dairy but it was a gift and I figured I would use it in baking. It was time for a marble bundt cake. Believe or not I had never tried cocoa hazelnut spread. Obviously I am very, very behind the times and I am glad I have brought myself into the 2000s. That stuff is awesome!

How Was the Marble Bundt Cake?
I forgot to take a photo of the whole cake before it was cut which is why you are seeing half photos. Obviously I really wanted some cake! Sometimes that is just the way it goes in the kitchen. Doesn’t really matter because you can still see how pretty this bundt pan is for making cakes and the lovely swirls of the two flavors in this marbled treat.
I don’t know why it took me so long to taste and use this wonderfully delicious spread but I am sure it won’t be the last. The problem is going to be me not eating it before it can be used in baking. For other yummy bundt cakes try citrus bundt cake, Earl Grey tea bundt cake or chocolate banana bundt cake.
