Ingredients
  

  • All-purpose flour or cake mix
  • Granulated sugar: to counter the taste of cocoa.
  • Baking soda: to give the cake lift.
  • ½ teaspoon of salt: to balance the sugar and chocolate.
  • Unsalted butter: If you have salted butter then no need for the 1/2 tsp salt.
  • Unsweetened or regular cocoa powder.
  • 1 cup sour cream or whole Greek yogurt.
  • Eggs: As a binding agent 4 is fine
  • Vanilla extract
  • Bittersweet chocolate: or semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  • Heavy cream: important for the finish.

Method
 

Making the batter
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare bundt cake pan by lightly dusting with cocoa powder and flour.
  2. Mix flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar; then set aside.
  3. Now mix together butter and cocoa powder with hot water.
  4. Add both mixtures (butter and flour) and blend with an electric mixer until smooth.
  5. Now add eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until uniform.
  6. Pour finished mixture into the bundt cake pan prepared earlier.
Baking Chocolate Bundt cake
  1. Bake for 40 – 50 minutes in preheated oven
  2. Let cool between 10 – 30 minutes
Cake topping
  1. Heat heavy cream on stove until it simmers.
  2. Pour heated cream over bittersweet chocolate in a heat-proof mixing bowl.
  3. Stir mixture until it’s a melted smoothness.
  4. Pour mixture over your cake and let it cool.
  5. Enjoy the work of your hands.
How to preserve Chocolate Bundt cake
  1. You can store in an airtight container and preserve in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  2. I doubt you’d be able to store it for that long though. The reason being that in most cake-loving homes, cake doesn’t last for more than a week. So, good luck on trying to do the impossible.
  3. That’s all we’ve got for you for now. Try the recipe and be sure to let us know how it turned out. Until the next recipe, stay on the tasty side of life.
