Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
Optional Chocolate Glaze:
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup heavy cream
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10- to 12-cup Bundt pan.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add Wet Ingredients:
- Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes until well combined.
- Add Boiling Water:
- Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this is normal!
- Pour into Bundt Pan:
- Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, filling it about two-thirds full.
- Bake:
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool:
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then, invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional Chocolate Glaze:
- To make the chocolate glaze, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips. Let sit for a minute, then stir until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled Bundt cake.
Tips:
- Serving Suggestions: This cake is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it with whipped cream, fresh berries, or ice cream for an extra treat.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
Enjoy your indulgent Chocolate Bundt Cake!
