Bundt Cake
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- ¾ cup Cocoa Powder
- 2 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Granulated Sugar
- ½ cup Light Brown Sugar
- 4 Large Eggs
- ¾ cup Sour Cream Regular or lite is fine.
- 1 cup Vegetable Oil
- 2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 oz Dark Chocolate Use your favorite chocolate bar that you like to eat.
- ½ cup Strong Coffee Cooled
Chocolate Ganache
- 6 oz Dark Chocolate
- ⅔ cup Heavy Cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Preheat oven to 325 F. Grease and flour a bundt cake pan.
In a medium bowl, add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together.
Melt the chocolate in a microwave or a double boiler
In a large mixing bowl or a stand mixer, add the sugar and eggs and mix well. . When the chocolate is cool enough to touch, mix it into the sugar/egg mixture until just combined. Add the sour cream, vegetable oil, and vanilla and coffee to the egg mixture and mix until just combined.
Add dry ingredients to wet, one cup at a time, and mix until just combined.
Bake for 35-40 minutes. The center may be just slightly jiggle as you pull from the oven but it should be cooked through. Test with a toothpick if desired. Place on a cooling rack for 10 minutes before removing the cake from the pan. Cool on a wire rack until room temperature.
Ganache
Wait until the cake has cooled to make the chocolate ganache. Place the cream and vanilla in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once the sauce pan is warm, add the chocolate. Stir occassionally until smooth and combined - about 2-3 minutes. Don't let it come to a full boil as that is too hot.
Ganache can be ready to use as a drizzle or you can let it sit at room temperature to cool and thicken to your preference. Refrigerating speeds cooling, but the ganache will not cool evenly. Stir it a few times as it sets in the refrigerator so it remains even and smooth.
