The Bundt Cake Buddha began as a way to use up Dubonnet Rouge that was nearing its expiry date. The first version was too sweet, so Cynar was added for balance, which gave a chocolatey orange flavor recalling the chocolate-orange bundt cakes the creator's mother used to bake and gave the drink its name.
