In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, dodo, baking soda, baking powder and salt, add the remaining ingredients except frosting chocolate. Beat on low speed for 1 minute, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour the mixture into the mold prepared Bundt. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes, remove from skillet and place on a rack to cool completely. Drizzle with chocolate glaze.

* If you do not have buttermilk, you can use 1 1 / 2 tablespoons vinegar and milk to equal 1 1 / 2 cups. Let stand for a couple of minutes before using.

Chocolate Glaze:

Sugar 1 / 4 cup
Water 1 / 4 cup
1 Cup semi-Hershey-Sweet Chocolate Chips or Mini-Chips

In a small saucepan, bring water and sugar to boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove pan from heat. Immediately add the chocolate. Stir the mixture with a wire whisk until chips melt and mixture is smooth. Chill until slightly thickened. Drizzle over top of cake.

Note: For a pretty presentation, add a few chopped nuts on top cake on the enamel.

Enjoy!
