Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 units large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup heavy cream (for glaze)
• 0.5 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for glaze)
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan or spray it with nonstick baking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the boiling water, stirring cautiously until the batter is well-mixed. The batter will be thin, but this helps create the moist texture.

Step 6

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out with just a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

While the cake cools, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter. Stir until smooth and glossy.

Step 11

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled Bundt cake, letting it drip down the sides for a dramatic effect.

Step 12

Allow the glaze to set for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
