Ingredients: What You Need
Gathering Your Baking Arsenal
The best part about this recipe is that it doesn’t require a long shopping list. Here’s what you’ll need:
For the Cake:
- 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
For Garnish (Optional):
- A sprinkle of powdered sugar or some chocolate shavings
With these ingredients ready, you’re all set for your baking adventure.
Directions:
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously greasing your Bundt pan. You want to make sure your cake slides out perfectly.
- In a big mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and pure vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Here’s a little secret to make your cake extra moist: pour in the boiling water and stir until the batter is silky. It might seem a bit thin but trust the process.
- Pour the batter into your prepared Bundt pan and pop it into the preheated oven.
- Bake for about 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The aroma of chocolate will fill your kitchen.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze by heating the heavy cream and stirring it into the chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Mix until you have a smooth, glossy glaze.
- Once your cake is fully cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top. If you like, add a final touch with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or some chocolate shavings.
