Emeril Lagasse from Every Day's A Party Cookbook, 2001. Emeril says these bundt cakes with Chocolate Glaze are like mini versions of heaven, filled with chocolate and peanut butter. The mini bundt pans used for this recipe are fun beacause they make perfect individual servings, and then there is no need for sharing. Time for prep/baking doesn't allow for cooling time.
