· 42 Comments

Jump to Recipe

This Rock n’ Roll Bunt is a traditional English Rocky Road that includes marshmallows, chocolate, biscuits (cookies), dried fruit and nuts.

#BundtBakers - Rock n' Roll Rocky Road Budnt

For this month’s #BundtBakers, our wonderful host and dear fried, Laura of Baking in Pyjamas instructed us to get creative with a traditional English Rocky Road.

I have never had a traditional English Rocky Road prior to this, but I am certain I will be making this bundt many times over.

The texture resembles that of a Babka cake, while the flavor is rich with chocolate and coffee. I swirled the Rocky Road mixture throughout the batter, then topped it off with more of the Rocky Road.

This bundt does not last long. Within one afternoon, half of it was gone. I may even have to say, it is one of my favorite bundts to date.

Enjoy it for dessert, or have a little slice in the morning with coffee – it’s a wonderful cake.

Thank you Laura, for hosting such a wonderful month of #BundtBakers!

    This looks so delicious! I like baking bundt cakes best because they are so easy and usually so thick and full of good things. The only kind of chocolate cake I will eat is a bundt. Pinned this!
