Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 0.5 cup canola oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup crushed pretzels
- 0.5 cup toffee bits
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan or spray it with non-stick baking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, canola oil, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick, smooth batter forms.
Carefully pour in the boiling water, a little at a time, while mixing. The batter will thin out—this is normal. Mix until well combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips, crushed pretzels, toffee bits, and chopped nuts.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for decoration, if desired. Slice and serve!
