Description

Death By Chocolate Bundt Cake is a rich, ultra-moist cake made for serious chocolate lovers. Loaded with cocoa powder, chocolate chips, and an optional ganache topping, this show-stopping dessert is deeply indulgent and incredibly satisfying.


Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup hot water or brewed coffee
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • Optional toppings:
  • Chocolate ganache (1/2 cup heavy cream + 1 cup chocolate chips)
  • Powdered sugar
  • Whipped cream or fresh berries for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10- to 12-cup bundt pan thoroughly.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together sugar, eggs, oil, sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients just until combined.
  5. Slowly add the hot water or coffee while mixing until the batter is smooth (it will be thin).
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cool, dust with powdered sugar or top with ganache. To make ganache: heat heavy cream until steaming, pour over chocolate chips, let sit 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Drizzle over cake.

Notes

Add espresso powder to intensify chocolate flavor.Use white or milk chocolate chips for contrast.Swirl in peanut butter or jam before baking for a fun twist.For best release, grease and flour every crease of your bundt pan well.Cake is even better the next day once flavors settle.
