Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake

Why is "bundt" spelled like that?  It makes me want to say the word with a stutter.  Bun-d-t.  Speech impediment or not, they are damn good cakes.  This one in particular.  It is my friend Nicole's recipe, and she is a goddess.  No, seriously, did you see that picture?  She looks like a goddess and behaves like one because only goddesses have recipes like this up their sleeves. 

This was another cake baked for no reason at all, other than I'M ALMOST 7 MONTHS PREGNANT.  Also I'm turning my son into Betty Crocker, don't tell his dad.  This cake is so delicious.  Moist, yellow, bundt cake with layers of mini chocolate chip cinnamon sugary goodness.  You can serve it along side ice cream or you can just eat the whole thing at once with your hands.  Like the goddesses do.

*Fact: Carson uttered the phrase "best cake I've ever had."
