Instructions

For the Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Prepare a 10-inch bundt pan by spraying with a nonstick baking spray. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a larger bowl, using a hand mixer, beat together the butter and sugar for 5 minutes.
  4. Add in the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla.
  5. Pour half of the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Mix in the sour cream, then mix in the remaining flour mixture until well combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 80 minutes. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake and comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes before inverting the cake onto a cooling rack. Cool completely before pouring the glaze.

For the Fudge Glaze

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine all of the glaze ingredients. Cook in the microwave for 30 seconds, take the bowl out, and stir. If there are lumps still remaining, cook for another 10 seconds. Stir everything until well combined.
  2. Pour the glaze onto the cake and allow it to set.

Notes

  • Storage: Store chocolate sour cream pound cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
