If you’re looking for a decadent, impressive dessert for your holiday table, this Chocolate Fudge Bundt Cake with Peppermint Mocha Glaze is it!

Let’s talk about coffee for a minute, shall we? I’m of the “Don’t talk to me until I’ve had at least one cup of coffee, preferably two” camp.  I don’t function well at all in the mornings without my cup of joe, despite the fact that I’m up no later than 6:30 am, even on the weekends.

What’s up with that??

And while I prefer my coffee straight-up black, thankyouverymuch, the holidays are the exception.  Once those limited edition holiday-flavored creamers hit the dairy case, I’m all over it. I mean, really–have you seen Coffee-mate’s seasonal flavors?

• Dark Chocolate Fudge — Rich, dark and indulgent like only chocolate fudge can be. Enjoy a cup of coffee that’s every chocolate lover’s dream come true.

• Peppermint Mocha — Enjoy one of the season’s most popular flavors! Let the comfort of crisp peppermint and chocolatey mocha warm you up this holiday season.

• Eggnog Latte — What would the holidays be without the flavor of Eggnog? Invite over some guests and prepare a holiday flavored latte for everyone on your list.

Come to mama.

And even if you’re not a coffee drinker, you should totally get your hands on some of these creamers, if only to make this bundt cake.  Holy chocolate yumminess!  This cake baked up dark and rich – just like a chocolate cake should.

Adding the dark chocolate fudge creamer to the batter was key to a extra-chocolaty taste, and just an all-around good decision.

You could certainly add the dark chocolate fudge creamer to the glaze, but the holidays just scream peppermint to me, so I used the peppermint mocha flavor instead.  And adding some crushed peppermint to the top of the cake was a quick and easy garnish.  And so pretty, too!

  The seasonal flavors are only available through December, so make sure to get them while you can – and then hurry and make this cake!
