My Big Fat Greek Wedding- Mocha Bundt Cake

I love romantic comedies, but then again what girl doesn't? So how is it possible that I had never seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding up until a couple weeks ago? Food 'n Flix assigned it for February so I set it up to record on my DVR and on a lazy Saturday spent some time truly enjoying this great movie. I've since watched it again. My favorite scene is Toula's mother trying to pronounce and understand what a bundt cake is. Hilarious and even funnier when she sticks a flower in the middle. I resisted the urge to do that with my cake but now that I think about it, it would have been another good laugh.
If you'd like to participate, there's still time, check out Kahakai Kitchen for more details.

 I'm so glad the movie inspired me to bake this cake. It's so delicious. The recipe includes frosting but it  doesn't need it. A little sprinkle of powdered sugar makes it just sweet enough.

    This really does sound yummy. I'd rather have the cake than frosting for sure. I love the simplicity of it and I bet your kitchen smelled amazing :)

    So glad you liked the movie--it is one of my very favorites and the scenes with the bundt are so funny. Your cake looks delicious and doesn't need the flower pot in the middle. ;-) Thanks for joining in Food 'n Flix this month!
