Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan, making sure to get into all the crevices.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  4. Carefully pour in the boiling water and mix until just combined. The batter will be thin – this is normal and contributes to the cake's moist texture.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  6. While the cake cools, melt chocolate chips with heavy cream and butter in a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.
  7. Once the cake is completely cool, pour the warm glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides. Let set for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Measure flour accurately by spooning into cups and leveling with a knife. Use room temperature ingredients for better emulsion. Don't overmix after adding boiling water. Allow cake to cool completely before glazing. Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
