I’m so excited that I finally have a good recipe for a chocolate bundt cake! I kept trying to use the same base recipe as my vanilla bundt cake and it just wasn’t cutting it. But this one… it’s perfect!
Chocolate Bundt Cake Ingredients:
For the cake:- All-purpose flour
- Cocoa powder
- Sugar
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Salt
- Buttermilk
- Eggs
- Oil
- Coffee or water
- Heavy cream
- Dark chocolate
Flour – you can use all-purpose or cake flour. I used all-purpose flour because that’s what I had on hand. However, if you want your bundt cake to be even lighter and fluffier, I would recommend using cake flour.
Sugar – some people like to use brown sugar in their chocolate cakes but I think white sugar is best here.
Cocoa powder – Dutch process cocoa powder will give you the darkest color but natural cocoa powder is okay too. Just make sure you don’t use black cocoa powder (like in these cookies) because that will make your cake taste bitter.
How To Make Easy Chocolate Bundt Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180C˚).
- Butter 10 cup Bundt cake pan and lightly dust with cocoa powder. Set aside.
- In a large bowl mix flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir well and set aside.
- In a separate bowl mix buttermilk, coffee (or water), eggs and oil. Mix until well combined.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry, whisk until incorporated. Pour the batter into prepared pan.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes and then invert onto a rack. Let cool completely before glazing.
- Make the ganache: chop the chocolate and place in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan heat the cream, when starts to simmer remove from heat and pour over the chocolate. Let sit for 1-2 minutes and stir until melted and smooth.
- Pour the ganache over the cake, sprinkle some sprinkles on top and serve.
