Time 3h

Yield one 12-inch Bundt cake (16 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick baking spray with flour (see Cook's Note)
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, left at room temperature for 20 minutes
2 3/4 cups (550 grams) sugar
1 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup vegetable oil
6 large eggs, at room temperature
3 cups (360 grams) cake flour
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup (35 grams) Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 tablespoon sugar
Pinch baking powder
3 tablespoons very hot water

Steps:

  • For the vanilla batter: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously spray a 12-cup Bundt pan with the baking spray.
  • Combine the butter, sugar, salt, baking powder, vanilla and oil in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed for 4 minutes. Stop and scrape the bowl and paddle with a rubber spatula. Add 2 of the eggs at a time, beating on medium speed for 30 seconds after each addition. Scrape the bowl.
  • Add half of the cake flour and mix on low speed just until combined. Add the cream and buttermilk and mix again on low speed just until combined. Scrape the bowl.
  • Add the remaining cake flour and start mixing on low speed to combine, then increase the speed to medium and beat for 4 minutes.
  • For the chocolate batter: Transfer 2 cups of the vanilla batter to a medium bowl. Add the cocoa, sugar and baking powder and stir with a fork or small whisk until completely combined. Add the hot water and stir slowly until completely combined.
  • Pour about half of the vanilla batter into the prepared pan. Dollop about half of the chocolate batter on top. Repeat with the remaining vanilla and chocolate batters. Run a skewer or butter knife through the pan to slightly swirl the 2 batters together.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 65 to 70 minutes. The cake will rise to fill the pan and will settle slightly once removed from the oven. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 30 minutes then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Simple to make with only three ingredients with a variety of uses. Great to use over Bundt cake because it sets up nicely. The extra sauce may be refrigerated and reheated to serve over ice cream or your favorite dessert. I came up with this once when I didn't have any confectioner's sugar to make a glaze for a Bundt cake.

Tips:

  • To achieve a moist and tender crumb, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. This allows them to blend more evenly, resulting in a smoother batter.
  • Cream the butter and sugar thoroughly until light and fluffy. This step incorporates air into the mixture, creating a lighter texture in the cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This prevents the eggs from curdling and ensures they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Sift the dry ingredients together before adding them to the wet ingredients. This helps to avoid lumps and ensures the ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • For a marbled effect, divide the batter into two bowls. Add cocoa powder to one bowl and mix until well combined. Drop spoonfuls of each batter into the prepared loaf pan, alternating colors.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the cake, so it's important to check it regularly towards the end of the baking time.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing. This helps the glaze set properly and prevents it from running off the cake.
