Chocolate Guinness Bundt with Yogurt Glaze ~ #TheCakeSliceBakers

This Chocolate Guinness Bundt is da bomb! But the real surprise is in how

easy it is to make.  Baking a cake doesn't have to be difficult.

The Cake Slice Bakers continue to bake from The New Way To Cake by Benjamina Ebuehi. This book is fast becoming a favorite with the group, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a new cookbook.

Our choices for March 2020 were Pecan & Burnt Honey Cake, Citrus Poppy Seed Cake and Chocolate Guinness Bundt with Yogurt Glaze.  Every month the struggle is real to narrow it down to one cake.  As St. Patrick's Day was coming up I choose the Chocolate Guinness Bundt with Yogurt Glaze, and wow, it was amazing.

Hands down, this has to be one of the easiest cakes I have ever made. Even when mixing the cake you only require a whisk.  But don't let the ease of baking this cake make you have any doubts about the flavor and texture of this bundt cake, it has a rich chocolate flavor, it is nice and moist from the added yogurt, the crumbs is nice and delicate, and it keeps really well.

At first I wondered about the glaze because it is only yogurt and powdered sugar, and how would those two flavors go together. I will say that I did have to add a little milk to my glaze as it was very thick, but it really is a great contrast to the sweetness of the chocolate. I choose to serve it on the side in case anyone did not care for the glaze on their piece of cake. I will definitely be baking this cake again and again, and next time I will substitute some brewed coffee for the Guinness.
