Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 10-cup Bundt pan thoroughly with butter or nonstick spray. Dust the pan with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.
In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until well incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the sour cream. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined.
Slowly pour in the hot coffee while mixing on low speed. The batter will be thin, but this is normal as the coffee enhances the chocolate flavor.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan and tap it gently on the counter to release any air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake is cooled, decorate as desired. A simple dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of chocolate ganache makes for a stunning presentation. Slice and enjoy!
