Mint Chocolate Bundt Cake

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while now, then you already know my love for mint chocolate. In fact, I’ve already shared a few mint chocolate recipes with you!

Today I bring you my Mint Chocolate Bundt Cake! 

Bundt cakes are a favourite of mine to make and serve to my family. They’re easy to make, and they always look impressive. What’s not to love about them??

Ingredients you’ll need

Here’s a list of ingredients you’ll need to make this cake. You can find my recipe card at the bottom of this post for the complete list with their amounts.

For the Cake

• cake flour
• cocoa powder
• baking soda
• baking powder
• salt
• large eggs
• caster/granulated sugar
• peppermint extract
• vegetable oil
• Greek-style yogurt

For the Filling

• cream cheese
• caster/granulated sugar
• large egg
• peppermint extract
• plain/all-purpose flour
• Green food colouring

For the Ganache

• chocolate (milk, dark, or semi-sweet)
• heavy cream

How to make Mint Chocolate Bundt Cake

To make this cake, simply whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs. Add the sugar, and whisk until combined. Add the mint extract, oil, and yogurt, and whisk until combined. Fold in the dry ingredients.

Pour half of the batter into a greased 10-inch bundt pan.

For the filling, whisk together the cream cheese and sugar until combined. Mix in the egg and mint extract, then fold in the flour.

Add in enough green food colouring to reach desired colour.

Spoon the cheesecake mixture evenly over the cake batter (you don’t have to use all of it), then pour the remaining cake batter on top.

Bake for 50 – 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting the cake onto a serving plate or cake stand.

Allow to cool completely before glazing.

For the ganache, add the chocolate to a heat-proof bowl, and set aside.

Add the heavy cream to a microwave-safe jug, and heat until hot. Pour the cream over the chocolate, and whisk until melted and smooth.

Leave to cool for 15 minutes before drizzling over the cake. For an even thicker ganache, allow to cool for longer.

This Mint Chocolate Bundt Cake is:

• Incredibly moist and fluffy
• Loaded with mint flavour
• Swirled with a minty green cheesecake filling
• Topped with the most deliciously thick and creamy chocolate ganache!

How long will this bundt cake last? This cake and any leftovers can be stored, covered, in the fridge for up to 2 – 3 days.

Can I freeze this cake? Yes, it also freezes well for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.

You can bake this cake 1 day in advance. Allow to cool completely, then cover tightly and keep at room temperature or in the fridge until ready to glaze and serve.

Seriously, this is the BEST mint chocolate bundt cake I’ve ever tasted – you are gonna love it!
