Cast Iron Magic: Dark Chocolate Fudge Bundt Cake

Viddy well, O my brothers, and glazzy your razzodocks on one of the most decadent dishes you can prepare in a cast iron pan: dark chocolate fudge bundt cake, with a ganache of Ghirardelli dark chocolate. This was prepared in a cast iron bundt pan; though the technique provided here will also work with a thick aluminum bundt pan. The ganache was prepared in a Wagner Ware deep 3-quart cast iron saucepan. The recipe for this cake can be found on my Web site, Cast Iron Chaos, at: The recipe also includes variations to allow for devil's food cake, red wine cake, and chocolate cobbler for serving with ice cream.
