So let's get into what you will need to make this recipe...
Ingredients needed to make the cake:
For the cake - you will need:
- 3 c of all-purpose flour
- 3 c of granulated sugar
- ½ of cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- 2 tsps of vanilla
- 5 large eggs- room temperature
- 3 sticks of butter- room temperature
- 8 ounces of sour cream- room temperature
For the chocolate ganache/glaze - you will need:
- 1 c of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 c of heavy cream
Steps to make the cake:
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Using a hand or stand mixer, cream the butter, oil, and sugar together until light and fluffy. Then add the vanilla and salt and mix until incorporated.
Add the eggs to the bowl one at a time mixing well after each addition. Then add the cocoa powder and mix until fully incorporated.
Add the flour mixture to the bowl alternating with the sour cream beginning and ending with flour.
Pour the batter into your greased 12-cup bundt pan and bake the cake for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. The cake is done once an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool for 20 minutes before inverting. Allow the cake to completely cool before adding the icing.
Steps to make the Chocolate ganache:
In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream under medium heat until it begins to bubble around the edges. Once it begins to bubble turn it off and pour the cream over the semi-sweets.
Do not stir. Allow it to sit for 3 minutes so give the chocolate time to soften.
After three minutes, stir until combined and silky chocolate forms. Pour the chocolate as desired over the cake allow it to cool then serve.
Tips for the Chocolate Cake
Semi-sweets were used for the ganache for this cake, but you can use different types of chocolate as long as you use the same measurement of chocolate.
If using large pieces make sure to cut the chocolate into smaller pieces so that it doesn't take as long to melt.
