Chocolate Mint Bundt Cake

What a scorcher it is in my neck of the woods today!! This is definitely not a treat to make in the heat of the day, who wants their oven heating up the house even more, BUT it is an amazing dessert to take to a BBQ or potluck.

I first saw this recipe on The Sister's Cafe, yes it is one of my very favorite recipe sites! I love how most of the recipes on there are simple and you can make them quickly!

I must admit, I am not a HUGE fan of chocolate. Yes, I like it, once in a while. BUT I am not the type that has to have it all the time. For me, though, I LOVE this cake. I love the mint in it! I realize it is a little rich, but it is one of those recipes that is almost too good to eat. ALMOST!!
