Ingredients
- Bundt Cake:
- 1 ¼ cups brewed coffee
- ¾ cup cocoa powder (regular or Dutch processed)
- 2 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- 1 ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 eggs plus 1 egg yolk
- 1 ¼ cups buttermilk
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- Ganache:
- ½ cup heavy cream, plus 1-3 tablespoons if needed
- 6 oz quality chocolate chips (dark or bittersweet, such as Ghirardelli)
Step-by-step Directions
1. Preparation
Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Generously spray a 12-cup bundt pan with baking spray to ensure easy release of the cake after baking.
2. Combine Coffee and Cocoa
In a microwave-safe bowl, mix the brewed coffee with cocoa powder. Microwave for 1½ – 2 minutes, whisking every 30 seconds, until fully combined and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients
Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix the granulated sugar, kosher salt, baking soda, eggs, and egg yolk on low speed for 1 minute. Utilize a rubber spatula to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
4. Incorporate Additional Wet Ingredients
Add buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the mixture. Continue mixing on low speed for another minute, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
5. Add Flour
Gradually add the all-purpose flour while mixing on medium speed for 2 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are well combined and the batter is smooth.
6. Combine with Coffee Mixture
Once the coffee-cocoa mixture has mostly cooled, incorporate it into the batter, ensuring it is not too hot to prevent cooking the eggs. Mix on medium speed for 3 minutes, scraping the bowl thoroughly.
7. Bake the Cake
Pour the finished batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake on the center rack of the oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
8. Cooling
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before inverting it onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
Servings & Preparation Time
This recipe makes one 12-cup bundt cake, ideal for serving approximately 12-15 people. Preparation time is about 20 minutes, with a cooking time of 50-60 minutes.
Tips for Storage & Reheating
- Store the cooled cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- If preferred, refrigerate for extending freshness. Warm individual slices briefly in the microwave, if desired.
- Freeze slices or the entire cake well-wrapped in plastic for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
