Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 4 ounces chopped semi-sweet chocolate
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
In another bowl, mix the eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms.
Slowly pour in the boiling water while stirring. The batter will be thin, but this will ensure a moist cake. Stir until fully incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
While the cake bakes, prepare the chocolate glaze. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove it from heat and pour it over the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 1-2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the chocolate glaze evenly over the top and down the sides of the cake.
Optional: Sprinkle powdered sugar over the cake for garnish before serving.
Slice and enjoy this decadent chocolate fudge bundt cake with a cup of coffee or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
