Step 1: Prepare the Bundt Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a Bundt pan generously with butter or baking spray, making sure every corner is coated. Lightly dust with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together:
- Flour
- Sugar
- Cocoa powder
- Baking soda
- Baking powder
- Salt
Mix until evenly combined.
Step 3: Add the Wet Ingredients
Add:
- Eggs
- Buttermilk
- Vegetable oil
- Vanilla extract
Mix until smooth.
Slowly pour in the hot coffee or hot water while stirring. The batter will look thin — that’s what makes the cake extra moist.
Step 4: Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan.
Bake for 45–55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before turning it onto a wire rack.
Step 5: Prepare the Chocolate Glaze
Heat the heavy cream until hot but not boiling.
Pour it over the chocolate chips and butter.
Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until glossy and smooth.
Step 6: Glaze the Cake
Slowly drizzle the warm glaze over the cooled cake, allowing it to flow beautifully down the sides.
Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing.
