Choco-Kissed Key Lime Bundt Bites
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
6 tsp softened unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 tsp grated lime zest
1 tbsp Key Lime juice
2/3 cup buttermilk
4 oz semi-sweet chocolate morsels
Preheat oven to 350. Spray individual bundt pan cups with non-stick cooking spray. Set to the side.
In a small bowl, sift flour, baking powder and salt.
In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter until light and fluffy. Add sugar and beat until well blended. Add eggs, one at a time, until incorporated, then mix in lime zest and juice. With the mixer on low, alternately add the flour and the buttermilk, being sure to begin and end with the dry ingredients.
Spoon mixture into the cups, and bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and turn pan upside down on a baking sheet. Rap on the counter to dislodge the mini-bundt bites. Move to a wire rack and allow to cool for 30 minutes.
In a microwave safe bowl, add chocolate morsels and heat, 20 seconds at a time (stirring after each heating cycle) until smooth. (This may also be done over a double boiler) Grasping each bundt bite by the bottom (as much fun to say as to do!) dip them top down into the melted chocolate, and twist as you raise them out. Return to the cooling rack and allow to sit for another 30 minutes. Store in an air tight container. Enjoy!
