The Best Chocolate Bundt Cake Ever

The first time I made the Best Chocolate Bundt Cake was back in 2012. I was a young married lady and an even younger blogger, slowly teaching myself how to cook and bake and living on the thrill of anything even halfway decent coming out of my oven.

Then this cake happened. For a fledgling baker, tackling a homemade bundt cake with a from-scratch glaze felt like an Olympic task. I remember how nervous I was when it was time to flip the cake out of the pan. Even years later, my palms get a little sweaty during this step.

But there was nothing to fear. The cake popped easily out of the pan and onto the plate. I did a little happy dance, then smothered the cake with the glaze and cut myself a slice.


I would tell you to serve it with ice cream or milk, but on this rare occasion, I believe the cake stands best alone, in all of its dark chocolatey glory.

If you’re looking for a show stopping dessert, the answer to an insatiable chocolate craving, or just a way to get your baking mojo back, I can’t recommend this cake enough. If it can survive my fumbling 2012 baking skills and pictures like this to become one of my most made and best reviewed recipes, it’s certainly worth a try.

Ingredients
FOR THE CAKE:

  • 2 1/4 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1 1/3 cups buttermilk
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

FOR THE GLAZE:

  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream, at room temperature

  • 1/4 cup brewed coffee, cooled
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 6 oz. unsweetened chocolate

Instructions
