Chocolate Blackberry Bundt Cake

Rich, melt in your mouth chocolate blackberry bundt cake with a thin coat of smooth chocolate glaze.That sounds delightfully delicious doesn't it and you can easily make it yourself.This is a simple dark chocolate cake that's incredibly moist.This cake is best eaten cold and set overnight to absorb the strong blackberry flavor into the chocolate.If your someone that doesn't like seeds in baking you can easily replace the blackberries with a different berry or even add a berry jelly. The fruit is the key to the moisture of this cake and almost comes out as a fudgy texture.This is now added to my favorite chocolate cake recipe list and would recommend it to friends and family to bake and eat.

I can see this recipe pairing very well with different toppings, for example whip cream,caramel syrup, or  a chocolate frosting.I am excited to use this recipe again and try out more of my ideas.
