Chocolate Chipotle Mini Bundt Cakes

I recently hosted a Mexican fiesta party at my house and when trying to figure out what to make for dessert I could only really think about chocolate.  I've traveled enough times to Mexico to know I needed a mix of spicy and sweet for my chocolate.  I started looking through my pantry and spice drawer and came up with this delicious recipe.

Chocolate Chipotle Mini Bundt Cakes

Start with 1 box of devil chocolate cake (you could make the cake from scratch but I was in a hurry)
Start to prepare the cake as per the instructions on the box BUT DO NOT ADD THE OIL.
Instead add 1/4c applesauce & 1/4c Greek yogurt mix as directed on the box.
Add 1 3/4tsp Cinnamon & 1/2-3/4tsp of Chipotle (I use epicure) the amount you add is dependant on how spicy you want your cakes. Mix into cake batter now add 1c milk chocolate chips and stir in.

To prepare your Bundt cake pan melt some coconut oil and brush on to pan then dust with cocoa powder.  If you have a nonstick pan just brush with coconut oil no need for the cocoa dusting.  Proceed to fill each Bundt cake approximate 2/3 full.  Bake at 350 for 13-15 minutes

Remove the cakes from the pan and cool.  To finish the cakes dust display or individual plates with cocoa powder and cinnamon and sugar. Place cakes on plate and drizzle with melted milk chocolate you could add more chipotle to the melted chocolate if you really love spice.



These cakes were a huge hit and I will definitely be making them again as they were fast, easy and tasty as hell!
