Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.75 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-cup bundt pan generously with butter or non-stick spray. Dust with flour and tap out the excess.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, coffee, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until the mixture is smooth and no dry streaks remain.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it out with a spatula if needed to ensure an even surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the thickest part of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then invert the pan onto a wire rack and let the cake cool completely.
While the cake cools, prepare the chocolate glaze: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.
Let the mixture sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Stir in the powdered sugar until dissolved.
Drizzle the glaze generously over the cooled bundt cake, letting it cascade down the sides. Allow the glaze to set for about 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve the Chocolate Zip Bundt Cake on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
