Kittencal's Moist One-Bowl Dark Chocolate Bundt Cake image

This recipe goes back over 30 years and I still make today, it's the most delicious dependable never-fail moist cake that is so easy to make, just dump everything into one large bowl, there is no need to beat eggs first, if like a slight orange/chocolate flavor use orange juice or you may use half juice and water you could use all water if desired ---my family calls this the Oreo cake as it tastes similar to the chocolate wafer part of an Oreo cookie, I sometimes slice in half and spread a vanilla frosting in the middle --- please make certain to generously grease and flour your pan, I always use my recipe#78579 for this --- this is one cake you will make over and over again and it's perfect to take to a potluck! --- for glaze see my recipe#315210

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cup All Purpose Flour
3/4 cup confectioner's sugar
3/4 cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter
To make cake
1 1/3 cups water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs

Steps:

  • 1. Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Stir to combine. Add shortening, then use an electric mixer on medium speed to blend shortening into dry ingredients. Mix until no chunks of shortening are visible. This is your cake mix, which you can keep in a sealed container for several months until you are ready to make the cake. 2. To make the cake preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the sides and bottom of two 9-inch baking pans or one 13x9-inch pan. Lightly flour the greased pans. 3. Blend dry cake mix (from step #1) with water, oil and eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer at low speed until moistened. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 more minutes. 4. Pour batter into pans and bake for 30 to 33 minutes for 9-inch pans, and 35 to 38 minutes for 13x9-inch pan. You can also make cupcakes with the mix. They take 19 to 22 minutes.

  • 4. ********* when I first made this recipe I thought I had filled the pans to much because it puffed up during the first 30 minutes or so, but after taking it out of the oven the cakes flatten to the right size.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
  • Use the right ingredients: Make sure you use high-quality ingredients, especially the chocolate. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The temperature of your oven can affect the texture of your cake. Make sure you preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking the cake.
  • Don't overbake the cake: Overbaking the cake can make it dry and crumbly. Check the cake a few minutes before the recommended baking time to make sure it's done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
