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
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10- to 12-cup bundt pan thoroughly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat together sugar, eggs, oil, sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients just until combined.
- Slowly add the hot water or coffee while mixing until the batter is smooth (it will be thin).
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- 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.
