dark chocolate and almond bundt cake

well, i have found nirvana...in this cake. and yes, it really contains healthful ingredients that your body will love you for and yes it contains the all mighty dark chocolate. oh, and low fat too. if there is one thing to try on this blog of mine it is this! it is super light and airy with a deep chocolatey flavor.
i used sunspire brand grain sweetened dark chocolate chips...i get them a wild oats. next time i make this, and i am thinking next week, i am going to spring for green&blacks organic dark chocolate cocoa powder...to.die.for!
i adapted it from a recipe i found on cookinglight.com that was a german chocolate bundt cake...i can't imagine that recipe holding a candle to this one though. littlefoodie is out of luck tonight on this cake...bigfoodie daddy and i will be indulging once the beast is settled!

enjoy!
