Dry Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup buttermilk (room temperature)
- ½ cup melted butter (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup chocolate chunks or chocolate chips
- Prepare the Bundt Pan: Grease the bundt pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray, then dust with cocoa powder to prevent sticking and ensure the cake comes out cleanly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder to combine evenly and eliminate lumps.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add the melted butter, buttermilk, and vanilla extract while mixing until smooth and well combined.
- Combine and Fold: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, gently folding with a spatula until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the cake tender.
- Add Chocolate Chunks: Fold in the chocolate chunks evenly throughout the batter for those irresistible gooey pockets inside.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool and Remove: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Bring eggs, butter, and buttermilk to room temperature for a smoother batter and even bake.
- Fold the batter just enough to blend ingredients without ruining the cake’s tender crumb.
- Use high-quality chocolate chunks or chips to enhance flavor and melt perfectly inside.
- Check for doneness around 45 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the thickest part of the cake.
- Let the cake cool slightly before removing from the pan to prevent cracking or sticking.
