Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips or chunks

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Grease your bundt pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray and dust it lightly with cocoa powder to ensure easy release after baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to remove lumps and combine evenly.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, creating a creamy base to blend in other ingredients.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing completely after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract for aromatic depth that enhances the chocolate.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Alternately add the dry mixture and buttermilk to the creamed butter and sugar, starting and ending with dry ingredients to keep the batter smooth and well-incorporated.
  6. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in chocolate chips to distribute them evenly, creating gooey pockets that melt deliciously during baking.
  7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Remove: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely, preserving its tender texture.

Notes

  • Use softened butter and eggs at room temperature for better batter emulsification and rise.
  • Weigh flour or spoon it lightly into the measuring cup for precise amounts that produce consistent results.
  • Combine ingredients until just blended to avoid a tough texture and maintain moistness.
  • Start checking your cake a few minutes before the suggested baking time as oven temperatures vary.
  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for a dramatically enhanced deep chocolate flavor.
