Ingredients
Scale
- 10 oz (280g) all-purpose flour
- 4 oz (115g) cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 8 oz (225g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 7 oz (200g) brown sugar
- 7 oz (200g) granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 8 oz (225ml) buttermilk, room temperature
- 8 oz (225ml) strong coffee, cooled
- 4 oz (115g) vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 6 oz (170g) mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 10 oz (280g) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 6 oz (170ml) heavy whipping cream
- 2 oz (60g) corn syrup
- 2 teaspoons dark rum or vanilla extract
- 7 oz (200g) vegetable shortening or margarine
Instructions
- Prepare the Chocolate Cake Goop by mixing vegetable shortening, vegetable oil, flour, and cocoa powder until smooth. Brush onto the bundt pan to prevent sticking.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease the bundt pan again with the cake goop.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, mix buttermilk, vegetable oil, cooled coffee, and vanilla extract.
- In a stand mixer, cream the butter with brown and granulated sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time. Gradually mix in the dry and wet ingredients alternately. Fold in mini chocolate chips if desired.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 45-55 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the Chocolate Ganache Glaze, heat the heavy cream until it simmers, pour it over chopped chocolate, whisk until smooth, stir in corn syrup and dark rum or vanilla extract, and let it cool slightly.
- Pour the ganache over the cooled cake before serving.
Notes
Store the cake at room temperature for up to 2-3 days or refrigerate for longer storage.
