Ingredients

Scale

Cake:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup hot coffee
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Chocolate Ganache:

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your mini bundt pans thoroughly to ensure the cakes release easily after baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. This ensures the leavening agents and cocoa are evenly distributed.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. This step incorporates air for a tender crumb.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the cake’s flavor.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Alternately add the dry ingredient mixture and buttermilk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined to avoid overworking the batter.
  6. Add Coffee and Chocolate Chips: Stir in the hot coffee slowly to integrate moisture and deepen the chocolate flavor. Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  7. Fill Pans and Bake: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini bundt pans, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for rising. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Prepare Ganache: While the cakes bake, heat the heavy cream until just about to boil, then pour it over the semisweet chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit for a minute, then stir until smooth and glossy.
  9. Cool and Glaze: Let the mini bundt cakes cool in the pans for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle the warm chocolate ganache over the cooled cakes before serving to add a rich finishing touch.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming.
  • Using hot coffee intensifies the chocolate flavor but does not cook the eggs thanks to the controlled mixing and baking times.
  • You can substitute buttermilk with a milk and lemon juice or vinegar mixture if needed (1/2 cup milk + 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar, let sit for 5 minutes).
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter once you combine wet and dry ingredients to keep the cakes tender.
  • If you don’t have mini bundt pans, use mini muffin pans but reduce baking time slightly and check with a toothpick often.
  • Ganache can be made ahead and gently reheated before drizzling.
