Ingredients

For the Cake

• 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs, room temperature
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup sour cream
• ½ cup whole milk
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

For the Chocolate Glaze

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional toppings:

• Chocolate curls
• Mini chocolate chips
• Chocolate shavings
• Cocoa powder dusting
• Fresh berries

Equipment Needed

• 10 to 12-cup Bundt pan
• Mixing bowls
• Electric mixer
• Rubber spatula
• Cooling rack
• Saucepan or microwave-safe bowl
• Wire whisk

Step 1: Prepare the Bundt Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease the Bundt pan thoroughly using butter or baking spray. Make sure every groove is coated to prevent sticking. Dust lightly with cocoa powder instead of flour to keep the cake beautifully dark.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl combine:

• Flour
• Cocoa powder
• Baking powder
• Baking soda
• Salt

Whisk until evenly blended.

This helps distribute the leavening agents evenly throughout the batter.

Step 3: Cream Butter and Sugar

In a large mixing bowl beat the softened butter until creamy.

Gradually add the sugar and continue beating for about 3–5 minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.

Proper creaming introduces air into the batter, creating a softer cake.

Step 4: Add the Eggs

Add the eggs one at a time.

Beat well after each addition before adding the next egg.

Mix in the vanilla extract.

The batter should appear smooth and creamy.
