I don’t mean to tempt you from cheating on your new year’s diet but I’m going to assume that you already have! Let’s be honest, it’s been a whole week since the new year! It’s hard for me to diet at this time of year because the chilly temps make me crave comfort foods. The only meal I struggle with is lunch (if I get to take one) because I typically let my assistant Matt pick where we go which isn’t always healthy. This week we have are working on a huge organizing project at a home in the area so we have been to all of the neighborhood hotspots, in-n-out burger, wendy’s, subway, and togo’s.
Today I wanted to share the triple chocolate bundt cake that I made for a small new year’s eve gathering that we had with our friend’s Rob and Lori. We decided to get together for a low key night at our house with chinese take out and this easy cake was the perfect dessert. I topped mine with raspberries served it with french vanilla ice cream. The only thing I would add if I made it again would be a dash of espresso powder, I am a sucker for chocolate and coffee. Enjoy the recipe and have a great week!
