Chocolate Cinnamon Espresso Bundt Cake

This Chocolate Cinnamon Espresso Bundt Cake is rich and decadent, with a tight crumb that is deceptively soft. Both the cake and the icing have a hit of espresso added that deepen the chocolate flavor, while the cinnamon warms it all up a bit. 

I add a bit of corn syrup to the glaze for extra shine, but feel free to leave it out if you aren’t into it.

The biggest tip I have for making this cake it to not over bake it – it can get dry quickly, especially since it uses butter as part of the fat, so watch it close and pop it out as soon as it is ready!
