Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10-cup bundt pan with butter or nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until evenly combined.
Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Gradually pour in the milk while mixing until you have a smooth batter.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips to create the fudge filling.
Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
Spoon the fudge filling in a smooth layer over the batter, being careful not to touch the sides of the pan.
Top with the remaining cake batter, spreading it to cover the filling entirely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center (but not in the fudge layer) comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Meanwhile, prepare the chocolate ganache by heating the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
Drizzle the cooled ganache over the completely cooled cake, letting it drip down the sides.
Allow the ganache to set before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Creamy Fudge Tunnel Cake!
