Chocolate Rocky Road Bundt for #BundtaMonth
This month the pick was chocolate so I made a Chocolate Rocky Road Bundt for #BundtaMonth. It could be truffle, milk, white or dark. I didn’t know what to make. Not having made many bundts in my life. I am excited to experiment!!
I wanted to do a white chocolate one but saved that for Valentine’s Day for you, so stick around for that!! That was the birthday cake I wanted!! I didn’t see anyone else in the kitchen making me one!! I wanted something special!!
Oooh Chocolate
So I went for a rich chocolate bundt cake. I added in pecans on the top and decided to go the Rocky Road route but didn’t know how to incorporate the marshmallows. I knew they would just melt right into the cake if it was baked and possibly leave little holes behind. Hmmm, that wouldn’t be good.
So I came up with a marshmallow glaze that worked great. You can serve it warm over the bundt and it would be fabulous. A small scoop of ice cream along with it and it was amazing. I was very happy how my cake turned out and I hope you all try it too!
Happy Birthday to me!!

Happy birthday, Tara! Isn’t it hilarious how all we food bloggers end up baking our own birthday cakes? That’s just to guarantee that we’re going to eat something over-the-top delicious for our special day. This bundt looks amazing – that marshmallow glaze is incredible. I love that you made a rocky road bundt.

Nice recipe! Your bundt cake looks so yummy!

Thank you!
Stacy says
Marshmallow glaze was inspired, Tara! Because you are absolutely right and most of the marshmallows just disappear inside. And anytime pecans are added to a recipe, I know I’ll like it. I just love to see them peeking out of that beautiful glaze.
Noshing with the Nolands says
Thank you so much Stacy!
