Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup hot black coffee
  • 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Add buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing well after each addition.
  5. In a small saucepan, heat the black coffee over low heat until hot, but not boiling. Add the chopped dark chocolate and stir until melted and smooth.
  6. Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the batter and mix until smooth and well combined.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  9. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just simmering. Remove from heat and add the unsalted butter and remaining chopped dark chocolate. Stir until smooth and well combined.
  11. Pour the chocolate glaze over the cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
  12. Let the glaze set for about 30 minutes before serving.
  13. Slice and serve the decadent dark chocolate bundt cake.
  14. Enjoy!
