Triple Chocolate Bundt Cake
Description
Triple Chocolate Bundt Cake uses a combination of flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and powder, and salt to create a well-balanced chocolate base. Wet ingredients include buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla, and hot coffee which deepens the chocolate flavor and contributes moisture for a tender crumb.
The batter is baked in a greased bundt pan then topped with a ganache made by melting dark chocolate with heavy cream, resulting in a glossy, rich finish. Additional chocolate chips adorn the cake for texture contrast. The coffee infusion intensifies the chocolate notes without a coffee flavor overpowering the cake.
This cake suits special dessert occasions and pairs well with whipped cream or fresh berries. Cooling completely before adding ganache is important to prevent it from sliding off. Adjusting serving sizes is straightforward thanks to the recipe’s scaling directions.
The recipe is adapted from Ina Garten and provides options to convert measurements to grams, supporting precise baking.
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cups cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract pure
- 1 cup coffee freshly brewed, hot
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips , divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease a bundt pan with butter and flour or baking spray.
- Add the flour sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a stand mixer on low speed until combined.
- In a second bowl combine the buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla with a whisk.
- Add the wet ingredients to the stand mixer on low.
- Add the coffee to the mixture until just combined.
- Pour batter into the bundt pan and bake for 50-55 minutes.
- Let cake cool completely before adding ganache (or it will run right off the cake).
- To make the ganache add the 1/2 cup of heavy cream to 2/3 cup dark chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and heat in 30 second increments.
- Using a fork add the chocolate ganache in a zig-zag pattern.
- Garnish with remaining chocolate chips.
Notes
- Allow the cake to cool fully before adding ganache to ensure it adheres properly.
- Use freshly brewed hot coffee to deepen chocolate flavor without adding coffee taste.
- The recipe scales servings automatically and converts between standard and metric measurements.
- The ganache is made by gently heating heavy cream with chocolate chips in increments to avoid burning.
