Cooking Chocolate Macaroon bundt cake?

[trip]

Does anyone remember this boxed cake mix? I don't think it is available anymore but it was my DHs favorite cake. Does anyone have a Chocolate macaroon bundt recipe that is similar?

DH would love this : Could I sub creme fraiche for evap., do you think?

I don't see why not. That even sounds like something I would do so I wouldn't wind up with a half filled can of evaporated milk in my fridge.

It would make it less sweet but it would also push those calories WAY down

I don't have any buttermilk - would ordinary milk do the job instead of water? It would add a little richness.

It sounds close - the original had a vanilla glaze. I think I'll try it for his birthday next week. Thanks!!
