Mother’s Day less than a week away; bake something special like this decadent chocolate Bundt cake. Moist chocolate cake covered in rich chocolate ganache; your mom will be so grateful.
Chocolate Bundt Cake
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 cup cocoa powder
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 large eggs
1 cup warm coffee or water (I recommend the coffee for a richer chocolate flavor)
2/3 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla
Chocolate Ganache
6 ounces semisweet chocolate (I usually use baking chips)
2/3 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp light corn syrup
To prepare the cake:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Thoroughly grease a 10–12 cup Bundt pan with butter. Dust lightly with flour or cocoa powder and tap out excess.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt until fully combined.
Add 2 large eggs, 1 cup warm water (or coffee), 2/3 cup buttermilk, 1/3 cup sour cream, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 1–2 minutes.
Pour batter into prepared Bundt pan. Tap pan gently on the counter to release air bubbles.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Carefully invert onto a cooling rack and allow to cool completely before glazing.
To prepare glaze:
Place 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate (chopped) in a heatproof mixing bowl.
Pour 2/3 cup heavy cream into a small saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Once the cream begins to simmer, immediately remove from heat and pour over the chocolate. Let stand for 5 minutes.
Stir until smooth and fully melted. Stir in 1 tablespoon light corn syrup until combined.
Drizzle ganache evenly over the cooled cake.
Delicious served with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and a few berries on top.
