Chocolate Bundt Cakes with Raspberry Compote are decadent mini cakes that say "I love you".

These chocolate bundt cakes are the perfect dessert to impress your someone special. Nothing says "I love you" like chocolate, and this Chocolate Bundt Cake with Raspberry Compote is guaranteed to please. Jackie and I were out shopping, and she came across the "cute" mini bundt pans. With no idea in mind for a recipe, she had to make this "cute" purchase. Our minds wandered for days trying to figure out what to make in these delicate little pans. I suggested to Jackie (because she is the baker) a chocolate dessert. After some trial and error, she worked to create this cake, adapted from a Barefoot Contessa recipe she loves. I helped to top it off by creating a sweet compote made from delicious seasonal raspberries. I have to say that it worked great together; this dessert tastes as good as it looks in the pictures. The mini chocolate bundt cakes are ideal for individual servings, and we think they make a beautiful ending to a romantic dinner for two. Impress her first by starting with our Pasta Carbonara and a glass of wine and you will have the makings of a wonderful evening. As for what happens after serving this great meal, that is for a different kind of blog. However we hope the food helps land many more dates and continued nights of cooking together. We we believe that a great "date night" can be as simple as a bottle of wine, cooking a meal together and then finishing the evening off with a great movie. So for all of you guys out there, try to keep this in mind when planning a date with your special someone.
