Alternately add flour mixture and buttermilk (or sour milk) to butter mixture, beating on low speed after each addition just until combined; reserve 2 cups of the batter.

In a small mixing bowl combine chocolate syrup and reserved 2 cups of batter; beat on low speed until well combined.

RECIPE BACKSTORY

This is a wonderful little bundt cake that I made for my Mom's bithday today! It comes from the Better Homes & Garden's New Cookbook. There is a recipe for an icing to go with this cake, but I didn't have all of the ingredients. So I just took a can of Pillsbury chocolate frosting and melted it & drizzled that over the cake...it worked just as well!

*To make sour milk, just add a tablespoon of lemon juice to regular milk.

*To grease the bundt pan, I just used a non-stick cooking spray made for baking.

*I used regular salted butter for this recipe, so I omitted the salt.
