That Chocolate Cake Is Scrum-diddly-umtious

I mentioned another recipe that I wanted to try and I made it today.  I had it for dessert after dinner.  It was fabulous.  Really fabulous. 

Double Chocolate Bundt Cake
(from Weight Watchers "Ultimate Classics" cookbook)

Baking spray with flour
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
¾ cup Dutch process cocoa (such as Droste)
1 ½ tsp baking powder
1 ½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
⅔ cup packed brown sugar
⅔ cup strong brewed coffee
¼ cup canola oil
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate minichips
1 tbsp sifted powdered sugar
Fresh raspberries (optional)

1.  Preheat oven to 350°.
2.  Heavily coat a 12 cup nonstick Bundt pan with baking spray; set aside
3.  Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.  Combine flour and next 5 ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside.  In a mixer, beat eggs and next 5 ingredients on medium speed 1 minute or just until combined.  Add flour mixture to egg mixture; beat at high speed 1 minute.  Stir in chocolate mini chips.
4.  Pour batter into prepared pan.  Bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.  Cool in pan on wire rack 15 minutes.  Remove cake from pan; cool completely on wire rack.  Dust with powdered sugar.  Garnish with raspberries, if desired.

  2. No I did not. I had two thin slices. Which is probably equal to one regular slice. :P
