Preparing the Bundt Pan
The most important thing to remember when using any bundt pan is to prepare the bundt pan before filling it with cake batter.
If you donāt prepare the bundt pan well, then the top of your cake may get stuck in it, and we donāt want that.
Start by using a pastry brush or napkin and coat the inside of the bundt pan with butter.
Then, after all the little nooks and crannies have been coated thoroughly, sprinkle flour in pan and coat everything well. Tap out any excess flour.
Making the Chocolate Bundt Cake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease and flour the bundt pan.
In a bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Add in the eggs one at a time. Next, add in the vanilla extract, oil, water, and sour cream. Blend well.
In another bowl combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and unsweetened cacao powder.
Slowly add the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and blend everything well.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour batter into prepared bundt pan and bake for about 45 minutes. Every oven is different so check frequently on your bundt cake to make sure itās not overbaking.
Allow bundt cake to cool for about 15-20 minutes before flipping over.
Pour chocolate ganache over top of cake. Enjoy!
*If you donāt want the chocolate ganache, try dusting top of cake with powdered sugar.
Makes about 12 servings depending on how thick each slice is.
Making the Ganache
In a heavy bottom saucepan, combine the chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream and turn heat on low. Stir continuously until chocolate chips start to melt and become smooth.
Add in the corn syrup and continue stirring until mixture thickens up a bit and is smooth. Turn off heat and add in the vanilla and stir again.
Let the ganache cool slightly before pouring over top of cake.
