Chocolate Bundt Cake with Chocolate Glaze
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan, ensuring all the crevices are covered. - Make the Cake Batter
- In a small bowl, whisk together the boiling water and cocoa powder until smooth. Set aside to cool.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Finally, fold in the cooled cocoa mixture until the batter is smooth and evenly combined.
- Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. - Prepare the Chocolate Glaze
- Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
- Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth.
- Stir in the butter until glossy. Let the glaze cool slightly before pouring over the cake.
- Assemble
Once the cake is fully cooled, place it on a serving plate. Drizzle the chocolate glaze over the top, allowing it to cascade down the sides.
