We had dinner with friends today and had planned to make a tiramisu cake until we realized there had been a marscapone mishap. Some quick thinking resulted in this moist espresso flavored chocolate bundt cake which was just as well. I have been feeling nostalgic for vintage desserts and my bundt pan has been left forlorn in the recesses of the storage cabinet for too long.
This cake is a part of a bigger circle of friendship. A few days earlier I came home to find a dozen eggs left by an older local woman I have come to know. She has what they call a "small holding" nearby, the equivalent of an American hobby farm. We talked of chickens and dairy goats when we visited over the gate a couple weeks ago. It really warmed my heart to see my name penned on the carton. I have smiled with every egg I have cracked from it and a couple of them went into this dessert.
I love how it says "British." I don't know why. Makes me what to go look at my eggs and see if it specifies American. lol
