How to make a chocolate cake from scratch?

The recipe for chocolate bundt cake has 3 folds. First, you prep the batter:  Crack the eggs in a bowl and add sugar, oil, and vanilla. Mix these ingrediets with a hand whisk until batter turns into a yellowish grainy mixture. It just take a few minutes.

Next add luke warm milk and yogurt in the egg batter and whisk it again for few minutes until sugar is dissolved. Did you see, You don’t need a mixer to make this bundt cake, you can whip it up by hand!

Second, Whisk together all dry ingredients, all-purpose flour, salt, cocoa, soda bicarbonate, baking powder and espresso coffee in a bowl and these these ingredients in the egg batter and gently fold it and mix until fully incorporated.

At very last add the hot water in the cake batter and mix with a hand whisk until well combined. Third, oil a 10-cup bundt cake pan generously. Pour in the batter into the bundt pan. Make sure you grease your bundt pan really well. You don’t want it to get stuck. I like to use soft butter, make sure get into all of the details of the pan so nothing sticks!

How long does it take to bake a chocolate cake ?

This easy chocolate bundt cake recipe takes between 40-45 minutes to bake at a preheated 350 degree F or 170 degrees C oven. However, I recommend testing the doneness by doing the toothpick test to make sure that it is fully baked.

How long to let cake cool in the bundt pan?

It is imperative that you let the cake cool for at least 2 hours for it to come out of the bundt pan in one piece. In my experiments, I found that 1 hour is usually enough, but if you have time and don’t mind waiting, I recommend letting it fully cool to room temperature before inverting it onto a plate.

How to make chocolate glaze for bundt cake?

The last step in this recipe is making the chocolate glaze and all the fun decorations on top. The chocolate glaze I used in this recipe is the one that I use every time I need to glaze anything with chocolate. Place roughly chopped chocolate or semi sweet chocolate chips into a mixing bowl. Pour heavy cream into a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat.

Once cream comes to a simmer, remove it from the heat immediately and pour over chocolate. Let stand 5 minutes, until chocolate is completely melted. Stir until smooth. Once smooth, stir in corn syrup. Drizzle over the top of the cooled cake.
