Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter
  • 1½ cups (270g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 1¾ cups (350g) sugar
  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (45g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (120ml) hot coffee or hot water (enhances chocolate flavor)

For the Chocolate Glaze:

  • 1 cup (170g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp butter (for shine)

Optional Toppings:

  • Chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Cocoa powder or powdered sugar for dusting
  • Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan thoroughly. For an even neater chocolate finish, use cocoa powder instead of flour to coat the pan.
  2. Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate together over low heat or in 30-second intervals in the microwave. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and glossy, ensuring the chocolate is fully incorporated.
  3. Add Sugar and Eggs: Whisk the sugar into the melted chocolate mixture. Then, add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition to create a smooth batter. Stir in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the wet batter until just combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the cake tender.
  5. Incorporate Hot Coffee or Water: Pour in the hot coffee or hot water and stir until the batter becomes smooth and shiny. The heat from the liquid enhances the chocolate flavor and helps achieve a fudgy texture.
  6. Fill and Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out with moist crumbs but not wet batter to ensure fudginess without overbaking.
  7. Cool the Cake: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then carefully invert the bundt pan onto a wire rack to release the cake and let it cool completely.
  8. Prepare the Chocolate Glaze: Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it is steaming but not boiling. Pour the hot cream over the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for a minute, then stir until the glaze is smooth, shiny, and well combined.
  9. Glaze the Cake: Drizzle the warm chocolate glaze evenly over the cooled bundt cake. Optionally, sprinkle the top with chocolate sprinkles or chopped nuts for added texture and decoration.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the cake and serve as is, or add a dusting of cocoa or powdered sugar. For extra indulgence, accompany with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Enjoy your rich, fudgy Brownie Bundt Cake!

Notes

  • Using hot coffee instead of water intensifies the chocolate flavor without making the cake taste like coffee.
  • Do not overbake to maintain the fudgy texture; check around 40 minutes.
  • Allow the cake to cool fully before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting off.
  • Coating the bundt pan with cocoa powder instead of flour prevents white residue on the cake’s surface, giving a more uniform chocolate look.
  • Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate up to 5 days.
