Glazed Chocolate Bundt Cake

Here’s a rich and indulgent Glazed Chocolate Bundt Cake recipe—moist, chocolatey, and topped with a shiny glaze.

Ingredients

For the cake:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

• 2 cups granulated sugar

• 4 large eggs

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 cup buttermilk

• 1 cup hot water or hot coffee (enhances chocolate flavor)

For the glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar

• 2–3 tbsp cocoa powder

• 2–3 tbsp milk (adjust for desired consistency)

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven:

   • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

   • Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.

2. Mix dry ingredients:

   • In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

3. Cream butter and sugar:

   • In a large bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

   • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.

   • Stir in vanilla extract.

4. Combine wet and dry ingredients:

   • Alternately add dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

   • Stir in hot water or coffee until smooth. Batter will be thin—that’s okay.

5. Bake the cake:

   • Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan.

   • Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

   • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.

6. Prepare the glaze:

   • In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, and enough milk to achieve a pourable consistency.

   • Drizzle over the cooled cake.

7. Serve:

   • Slice and enjoy with a cup of coffee or a scoop of ice cream.
