Ingredients to make this recipe

These are the ingredients that you will need to make this chocolate bundt cake recipe:

Flour: We’ve used all-purpose flour. 

Sugar: It will make your cake sweet and fluffy.

Baking powder: To make your cake rise.

Eggs: Eggs will give structure and consistency to the cake.

Oil: We’ve used sunflower oil. 

Brewed coffee: To enhance the chocolate flavor. You can also use instant coffee.

Cocoa powder: For the best chocolate flavor.

Almond milk: Almond milk works particularly well with this recipe, but you can use any milk you like.

Vanilla extract: A little bit of vanilla extract on baking goods works excellent to intensify the fantastic flavor.

Salt: To enhance all the flavors!

Chocolate glaze: A mixture of chocolate and heavy cream. We’ve used vegan heavy cream to make this recipe dairy-free.

How to make this recipe

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 C) and grease a 10 to 12 cup bundt cake pan.

Using a stand mixer or a hand mixer, beat the eggs, sugar, and oil until creamy for about 5 minutes. Add the milk, coffee, vanilla extract, and salt and whisk to combine.

Sift the cocoa powder and whisk to mix everything. Then sift the flour and gently combine.

Next, add the baking powder and gently combine. Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake for about 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

When the cake has cooled down, make the chocolate glaze. Melt the chocolate with heavy cream and whisk until smooth. Wait until the ganache has cooled down a bit, achieved a creamier consistency, and then pour it over the chocolate cake. 

FAQ

What is the difference between a bundt cake and a regular cake?

The difference between a bund cake and a regular cake is its form because of the cake pan’s shape. A bundt cake pan is round and has a cylindrical hole in the middle, which gives the cake a doughnut-like shape. 

What can I use if I don’t have a bundt pan?

If you don’t have a bundt pan, you can make this cake recipe in a standard cake pan. 

We recommend using an 8-inch pan for this recipe.

Tips for making this recipe

• Don’t overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a more dense and chewy cake. 

• Sift the dry ingredients: Sifting all the dry ingredients while adding them to de mix will break up any lumps, combine them evenly with the other ingredients and make a perfectly smooth batter.

• Weight the ingredients: Weighting all the parts when baking is crucial for the best result. Not adding the precisely correct amount of a specific ingredient when baking a cake can make the cake turn out too dense, too chewy, or too small.

• Use good quality cocoa powder: Use a good quality cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor.
