Preparation of the dough.
This Easter chocolate bundt cake recipe has the advantage of being easy to make.
1- Separate the eggs.
2- In a large bowl, whisk the yolks with the sugar until the mixture whitens.
3- Incorporate the sifted flour and baking powder, then add the milk to loosen the dough.
4- Add the almond powder and cocoa.
5- Add the melted chocolate and mix well.
6- Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form, then gently fold them into the preparation.
Preheating the oven.

Note: the shape of the mold is one of the secrets to the beautiful appearance of this Easter chocolate bundt cake.
Bundt cake baking
1- Bake this Easter chocolate bundt cake for 30 minutes at 180°C.
2- Let it cool slightly before unmolding it.
3- Wait until the cake is completely cold before decorating it.
Preparation of the icing.
While the chocolate Easter bundt cake cools, prepare the pink icing.
1- Mix powdered sugar and red food coloring in a small bowl.
Note: For this recipe, I used a natural food coloring made from beet extract.
2- Strain orange juice to remove pulp.
3- Gradually mix orange juice into the powdered sugar until you achieve the perfect texture, both creamy and spreadable.
Cake frosting
To frost the Easter bundt cake with pink frosting without dirtying your serving dish, I suggest placing the bundt cake on a sheet of parchment paper.
This trick will also allow you to not waste anything as you can recover the frosting that has dripped onto the paper.
Drizzle the frosting on top of the cake to create drips.
Adding decorations
Once the chocolate Easter bundt cake is coated, place it on its serving plate.
Add the decorations on top of the cake before the frosting is completely dry.
You can use all kinds of decorations, small Easter eggs and edible flowers that evoke spring.
For my part, I used borage flowers that grow on my balcony for their beautiful blue color.
Tasting advice
Once the powdered sugar frosting has dried, you can cut and serve this Easter chocolate bundt cake. There's no need to accompany it with whipped cream! Personally, I found this chocolate cake so delicious and moist that I think it stands alone, especially at the end of a slightly heavy Easter meal.
