Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- ½ cup heavy cream, plus 1-3 tablespoons if needed
- 6 oz quality chocolate chips (dark or bittersweet, such as Ghirardelli)
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before inverting it onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
