Because I am your friend, I am sharing this Delicious Low Sugar Chocolate Bundt Cake with Chocolate Glaze just in time for Valentine’s Day. See, you can make this cake any time, any day. But Valentine’s Day is sort of an excuse to eat chocolate. So this cake recipe comes to you just in time!
Does the recipe look familiar? It should. I originally created and shared this recipe a few years ago, baking it in a regular cake pan. It remains my all-time favorite cake recipe, and I usually spread Low Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting over the top.
But sometimes it’s fun to mix things up a little by, you know, pouring your cake batter into a pan of a different shape. Do I know how to party or what?

My sugar-loving family knew right away this cake was different. I think vanilla and cinnamon may help mask the lack of sugar. Texture was good though.
Re: low sugar chocolate bundt cake
Can you use reg self rising flour instead of whole wheat pastry flour?
Thanks,

Yes, I believe that should work, but you would then want to disregard the baking soda in this recipe. :)
