Chocolate Bundt Cake

This easy fudgy recipe for Chocolate Bundt Cake has a moist and delicious texture. It's covered with a chocolate glaze to take it over the top. It's easily the BEST Chocolate Cake recipe that is perfect for your next party or celebration. 

I ordered a new large Bundt Cake pan a few weeks back and knew the first recipe would be a moist homemade Chocolate Bundt Cake. 

It started with my Moist Chocolate Cake recipe with a couple of adjustments like sour cream instead of buttermilk to give it that fudgy texture that is a must for a bundt cake. I also had to make some adjustments to get a tall enough cake for my 12 cup bundt pan.

Colt has already put in the request for this to be his Birthday Chocolate Cake this year and every year in the future.. Only time will tell if he changes this request down the road but it is definitely one of the BEST Chocolate Bundt Cake recipes I've ever made! 

Here's how to make this Chocolate Bundt Cake recipe:

Grease a 12 cup Bundt Cake Pan using shortening. In the recipe developing process I found shortening was working much more dependably than butter which seemed to occasionally have a little area stick here or there.

Preheat oven to 350° F.

In a mixing bowl stir together until well combined:

• 2 2/3 cup All-Purpose Flour, Fluffed
• 2 2/3 cup Granulated Sugar
• 1 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened Cocoa Powder 
• 3 teaspoons Baking Soda
• 1 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1 1/4 teaspoon Salt

In a medium sized bowl mix together:

• 3/4 cup Butter, Melted
• 1 1/2 cups Sour Cream
• 3 whole Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Vanilla

Mix into flour mixture until well combined.

Stir 1 1/2 cups Hot Coffee into Chocolate Cake batter. 

Pour cake batter into greased Bundt Pan.

Bake in 350° oven for 45-50 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center of cake comes out clean.

Allow Chocolate Bundt Cake to cool for 15 minutes in pan before inverting onto a cooling rack to finish cooling.

Allow to cool completely before making Chocolate Glaze.

To make the Chocolate Glaze is super simple. In a small sauce pan heat 1/2 cup Heavy Cream until hot but not boiling.

Remove from heat and stir in 3/4 cup Semi-Sweet or Dark Chocolate Chips. Stir until chocolate is melted and smooth.

Drizzle melted Chocolate Glaze over the top of the cake.

You can enjoy cake immediately or cover with a cake dome until ready to serve. The chocolate glaze will firm up as it cools.

Served plain or with your favorite scoop of ice cream. You can't go wrong either way.
