Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup chocolate frosting (store-bought or homemade)
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 10-cup Bundt pan with butter or cooking spray. Lightly dust the pan with flour and tap out the excess.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until no streaks of flour remain. The batter will be thick.
Carefully stir in the boiling water, a little at a time, until fully incorporated. The batter will now be thin, which is normal.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
Spoon the chocolate frosting directly into the center of the batter, avoiding the edges of the pan. This will create a frosting layer inside the cake.
Gently pour the remaining batter over the frosting, ensuring it is evenly distributed and covers the frosting completely.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the part of the cake (not the frosting layer) comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then, carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the top of the cooled cake with powdered sugar for garnish before serving.
Slice and serve to reveal the hidden frosting layer inside. Enjoy!
