I knew from the moment I opened the box to this bundt pan that I was going to bake a chocolate bundt cake in it, and then top it with a matcha glaze. The cheesecake filling idea popped into my head as I was making the batter for the chocolate cake. It was a good idea, to say the least. This is probably my most favorite chocolate cake ever, it’s like a fudgey, delicious brownie in consistency. Mmmm. And I swear it gets even better after a couple of days in the fridge, which is awesome because to be honest, who can eat such a huge cake in one go?
And guys, I bet you already know them, but if you don’t, you need to know about Nordic Ware bundt pans (they did not pay me to say this, I just adore their pans and want to share). Now, I love my vintage cake pans but I’ve had so many cakes stick to the pans and it’s just such a waste of time and good ingredients. I’ve not had a single cake stick to the pan with my NW pans. So there you go.
Anyway, if you’re making this recipe, make sure to read up on the notes right before the ingredients and instructions in the recipe. ๐
The design on the pan is amazing…
Isn’t it?!
Hi Linda,
It looks… wired. Like a cake for Halloween !
oops ! I mean “weird”
Well, that’s what matcha looks like! ๐
That cake looks amazing Linda! I live in the uk and couldnโt find that pan at all ! Today after seeing your post I ordered online :))
Thanks
Gul
Thanks so much, Gul! Ohh, you will love this pan… it’s so awesome. ๐ ๐
Hey!
Linda, I love your cakes and photos, they are so estetic!
Gul, I love this shape too! Can you send me a link for the online one that you ordered?
Thanks,
Margarida
Hey Margarida, thanks so much!! The name of the pan is ‘Heritage’, hope that helps ๐
Linda,
Yes, I found it! Thank you ?
Oh Linda… This cake couldn’t looks better!!! I’m gonna dream with chocolate cake and cheesecake filling tonight, It’s my prerogative, I’ve just decided it hahaha ๐
Thanks so much Marรญa! Haha, it’s not a bad thing to dream about.. so yummy! ๐ xx
What a beautiful cake! I love that green color!

Thanks so much Kari ๐ Love that green color too!
Hi Linda, I love your blog!! This cake looks great (like all your cakes), I am fascinated by the green color of the glaze! Gonna try it for sure, thanks for the recipe!
Hi Michaela! Thank you SO much for saying that ๐ Makes me so happy. I agree, adore that color! It’s crazy how such a small amount can give such a vibrant color. Hope you like the cake should you decide to give it a try! x
I actually own this pan and the design is so beautiful makes any recipe look great. I love the green on the chocolate. If u canโt say something nice be quite.
It does indeed! I own two other pans from them aswell and they’re just the best. And I totally agree with you ๐
Such a beautiful cake and looks so delicious, wish I could have a slice now with my cup of coffee! I guess I’ll just have to make it one of these days even if there is no way mine will be this beautiful! ๐ Love the photos as always dear Linda! <3
Ahh, Lili! Wish I could send you a piece of this huuuge but delicious cake.. haha. Yours will be equally beautiful, I know it. Thank you for your kind and thoughtful comment, Lili <3
Incredible color for that beautiful bundt cake.
Isn’t it?! Such a vibrant green color <3 Thanks Ophelie!
I made it and it was delicious! Didn’t have any matcha, so I couldn’t do the glaze, but I will be making this again for sure (also I need to get a pan as pretty as yours).
Yay!! So glad you liked it! It’s delicious without the glaze too, of course. Make sure to try it after a day in the fridge too, the texture gets even better ๐ Thanks so much for leaving a comment Caroline!
Dear Linda,
Your blog is so beautiful and inspiring. I want to try this cake and I just have a question. Can I bake this cake in a silicon bundt pan?
Thank you so much for your kind comment! I’d say you should be able to bake it in a silicone pan ๐
This cake actually looks like a piece of art.
Sie sehen gut aus! Gratulation ๐
After baking and cooling it I also soaked it a little bit to make it super juicy. I made simple sugar syrup with a bit of lemon zest smashed in a mortar.
It worked well ๐ The only problem was that the cake I made was prehaps a bit too dense, bit that was not due to the soak…
I made it as a family lunch dessert and everyone (including me) was totally amazed. ๐
Thank you for the wonderful recipe!
P.S.: Cant wait to save up and buy that beautiful baking pan! It looks mezmerising, I wonder if the cakes taste better because of that as well… ๐
Hi! So glad to hear you liked the recipe so much ๐ The cake is already really moist and quite dense as you say, I imagine it doesn’t really need a syrup! But for a regular sponge cake which is more fluffy and a bit more ‘dry’, a lemon syrup sounds like absolute heaven!! Yes, those pans are absolutely amazing. I bet the cakes taste better because of them ๐ x
This cake is absolutely beautiful! I was just wondering: If you keep the cake in the fridge for a day or two, do you put on the glaze right from the start or just before serving it? Thank you so much for all those amazing recipes ๐
What a beautiful cake, cannot wait to make it! One question though: When you keep the cake in the fridge for a day or two, do you put on the glaze right before serving? Or do you keep it in the fridge with the glaze on already?
Thank you so much, Kristina! The cake is already glazed when it’s in the fridge, it just hardens in the fridge (which I actually like!). Hope that helps!
