Ingredients

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
  • cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  • 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.
