Instructions
Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously butter and flour a large bundt pan or spray with baker's spray.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the vanilla and eggs, making sure to mix well and scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and chocolate pudding. Add the dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk, mixing between each addition until combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips, then transfer the thick cake batter to the prepared bundt pan.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean with just a few crumbs.
- Cool for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before icing.
Chocolate Icing
- Heat the water and butter in a saucepan on the stovetop over medium heat until the butter is melted.
- Remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla and cocoa powder first, followed by the powdered sugar until a smooth, thick icing forms. Mix in the heavy cream to get the icing to a pourable consistency.
- Pour the icing over the cake, filling the hole in the center with as much of the extra icing as you like. I tend to fill it up and just make sure I'm careful when cutting the cake to watch for it to pool out, since I like LOTS of extra icing for each slice. The frosting will firm up and set as it cools, forming a nice fudgy layer around the top of the cake.
