Double the chocolate in this delicious Chocolate Cheesecake Stuffed Bundt Cake!

This post has been sponsored by Nordic Ware. They sent me this stunning Crown Bundt pan and have compensated me monetarily for this recipe. All opinions are my own.

I don’t have to tell you how excited I was about this Crown Bundt pan when I first saw it. I may have gasped. You guys know I am a huge Bundt fanatic, to put it mildly, and have an ever-growing collection of pans (much to Ryan’s dismay). Well, when I saw this one I was smitten. And as luck would have it, the lovely folks over at Nordic Ware wanted to send me one!

Deciding what to bake in this beauty was a challenge. I wanted something striking, but I didn’t want it to take away from the prettiness of the pan. I considered a glaze, but worried it might cover too much. I’d considered a simple powdered sugar dusting, but I wasn’t 100% sold on that either. Instead, I decided to go with a naked (gasp!) dark chocolate cheesecake stuffed Bundt. That’s the beauty of Nordic Ware pans — they are stunning on their own and don’t need all of the bells and whistles of a traditional cake. Don’t get me wrong, I am all about bells and whistles, but sometimes simplicity is the best way to go.

The rich dark color of this Chocolate Cheesecake Bundt is achieved with the use of black cocoa which is honestly one of my favourite things ever. I’ve used it SO much since discovering it a year ago. I like the intensity it gives to chocolate cakes and cookies, so I always try to substitute some of the cocoa powder with black cocoa.

Can we talk about how stunning this Crown Bundt pan is? That gold-metallic finish is dreamy. And it’s a NICE gold, not a drab, faded iPhone gold. You know what I’m talking about. This pretty pan has literally been sitting on my counter since the day I got it. I don’t care that it takes up space, it’s too pretty to put away.

In addition to the Crown Bundt, Nordic Ware has created an exclusive line of pans to celebrate their 70th anniversary. 70 years! Can you believe it?? They are family owned and operated, proudly producing quality kitchenware products, primarily made in America. With a wide variety of collections and hundreds of products, Nordic Ware has become known internationally, with millions of fans around the world.

The anniversary collection is inspired by their Scandinavian roots, and all of the pans in that collection have this same stunning gold-metallic finish. It’s taking all of my restraint not to order them all. Along with their new collection, Nordic Ware will be launching contests and other events throughout the year to celebrate. Be sure to follow them so you don’t miss out!

This cheesecake stuffed Bundt cake is amazingly good. It actually rivals my favourite chocolate cake in both flavour and texture. The cheesecake adds a bit of a tart tang that compliments the chocolate cake perfectly. I opted to fill it with a chocolate cheesecake, but you could do a plain one instead (just skip the melted dark chocolate) or any other flavour. If you’re not a cheesecake fan, you can just leave that out altogether and you’ll still have a delicious chocolate cake on your hands!
