Today we are baking bundts, not just any bundts but rocky road bundts, well I love this combination of flavors. Nuts, chocolate, dried fruits, marshmallows and cookies if you like. This is the English version of the rocky road . Today’s bundt is Cherry Chocolate Walnut Bundt and the event is hosted by the lovely Laura from Baking in Pajamas. Thank you so much Laura.

Not only is the outside loaded with flavor but the inside has wonderful dried cherries to add to the decadent chocolate cake. Under baking this slightly keeps it moister. I would take it out when just done at about 50-55 min. The glaze is melted marshmallows, cream and butter and it ooey gooey sticky yummy. And it works perfectly well in getting the topping to adhere to the cake!

The top has a good solid layer of walnuts baked right into the cake, I can never get enough nuts. With this amount of nuts the cake just popped out the bundt pan without a problem.

    You can’t have too many nuts in a cake as far as I’m concerned. You have yet another stunner of a cake. Oh, and I want that fork. Just pack it up and send it my way please.

    What a stunner! If I were to make my cake over again, I’d probably line the pan with nuts too! Our glazes sound really similar and your cake sounds absolutely delicious!
