Chocolate Bundt Cake:

1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously spray a 12-cup bundt pan with baking spray. 🏺

2️⃣ Combine the brewed coffee and cocoa powder in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1½ – 2 minutes, whisking well every 30 seconds. Set aside to cool. ☕🍫

3️⃣ In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or a large bowl with a hand mixer), combine the sugar, kosher salt, baking soda, eggs, and egg yolk. Mix on low speed for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. 🥄

4️⃣ Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix on low speed for 1 minute, then scrape down the sides of the bowl again. 🌻🌿

5️⃣ Add the flour to the mixture and mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. 🌾

6️⃣ Add the cooled coffee-cocoa mixture to the batter. Mix on medium speed for 3 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. ☕

7️⃣ Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake on the center rack for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Invert the warm cake onto a cooling rack and let it cool completely. ⏳

Chocolate Ganache:

8️⃣ Place the fully cooled bundt cake on a cooling rack, setting the rack over a cookie sheet. 🍰

9️⃣ Place the chocolate chips in a bowl or a liquid measuring cup with a spout. In a separate bowl, microwave the heavy cream for 45-60 seconds until very hot, but not boiling. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips, cover with a plate, and let it sit for 3 minutes. 🥛🍫

🔟 After 3 minutes, whisk the mixture until the ganache is smooth. It should be loose enough to pour but thick enough to only run partway down the sides of the cake. If the ganache is too thick, heat an additional 1-3 tablespoons of cream and whisk it into the ganache until the desired consistency is reached. Avoid microwaving the ganache directly. 🔄

1️⃣1️⃣ Pour a thick layer of ganache onto the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Go around the entire cake, adding more ganache to any bare spots. 🍫

1️⃣2️⃣ While the ganache is still warm, gently tap the cooling rack on the cookie sheet to help the ganache settle evenly on the cake. You can serve the cake immediately or allow the ganache to set before serving. 🎂
