Description

Moist Chocolate Bundt Cake with Ganache is a rich, ultra-moist chocolate cake topped with a glossy ganache glaze—elegant, easy to make, and perfect for any chocolate lover.


Ingredients

For the chocolate bundt cake:

2 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 3/4 cups granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 cup whole milk or buttermilk

1 cup hot brewed coffee (or hot water)

2 tsp vanilla extract

For the ganache glaze:

6 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 tbsp butter

Optional: pinch of salt or espresso powder


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 10–12 cup bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  3. Add eggs, sour cream, oil, milk, and vanilla. Mix until just combined.
  4. Pour in hot coffee and stir until batter is smooth (it will be thin).
  5. Pour batter into bundt pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Cool in pan for 10–15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. For ganache, heat cream to a simmer, pour over chopped chocolate, and stir smooth. Add butter and stir until glossy.
  9. Drizzle ganache over cooled cake and let it set before serving.

Notes

Add mini chocolate chips or chopped chocolate to the batter for extra richness.

Add peppermint extract to ganache for a minty twist.

Top with crushed nuts or flaky salt for texture.

Swirl in peanut butter or cream cheese for a filled variation.
