There is something oh-so sophisticated and elegant about the shape of a classic bundt cake. All those curves and crevices not only make it look majestic, but they act to perfectly catch and dribble the icing, which is poured over the cake after it has been cooled.
Our version is a deep, dark and fudgy chocolate cake which is drizzled with a glossy peppermint-spiked chocolate ganache. Not a fan of peppermint? Simply omit and replace it with pure vanilla extract for a more classic version that will take you anywhere from Sunday night dinner at the in-laws to afternoon tea with the girls.

1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup plain yogurt

1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tsp pure peppermint extract
Ganache:
1/2 cup chopped bittersweet chocolate
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 tsp pure peppermint extract
