Prep Time: 15-20 mins

Baking Time: 40-50 mins

Total Time: 1 hour+


Ingredients:

Cake:

  • 1.5 cups all purpose flour + 2 tbsp flour; divided

  • 1.5 cups sugar

  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1 tsp baking soda

  • 0.5 tsp baking powder

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1/3 cup buttermilk

  • 1/3 cup Chocolate chips

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chunks 

Topping:

Directions: 

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.

  2. Prepare a bundt/regular cake tin by greasing and dusting it with flour.

  3. In a bowl mix all liquids- warm water/coffee, buttermilk, oil, eggs and vanilla.

  4. In a large mixing bowl, add sifted 1 cup flour and cocoa powder. Add baking soda, baking powder, salt and sugar. Whisk it together.

  5. Make a well in the middle and add the liquid mixture in it.

  6. Using a whisk, mix it together to form a smooth batter. Do not overmix, just mix till no lumps.

  7. Mix the 2 tbsp flour with chocolate chips and chunks. Add it to the batter and mix.

  8. Pour in the prepared pan and bake at 350F for 40-50 mins till its baked through.

  9. While the cake is baking, prepare the ganache. Recipe is here.

  10. Let it cool slightly and chill in the fridge for 15-20 mins. Run a knife through the edges and invert on a plate.

  11. Pour melted ganache over the cake and top with shavings.

  12. Serve as you want. My favorite way is to serve it warm with ice cream.

Notes/Tips:

  • Do not over mix the batter, just mix till no lumps.

  • Be sure to mix the chips and chunks with flour otherwise it will sink to the bottom and then won’t demold.

  • Unmolding the Cake: Sometimes the chocolate chips can sink to the bottom making it gooey and difficult to demold. These help:

    • Chilling the cake for 15-20 mins in the fridge also helps to unmold it.

    • Greasing & flouring the cake pan helps to unmold it.

  • If you don’t have buttermilk, mix 2 parts with yogurt with 1 part of water.

  • If you can, use coffee. It helps to improve the chocolate flavor.

  • You can make the ganache from before and keep. Just reheat it before glazing.
