Ingredients

For the Cake:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder (we recommend Dutch process for a smoother flavor)
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 cup water
• 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
• 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt for a lighter twist)
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Glaze:

• 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
• 1 1/2 tablespoons corn syrup
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

Preparing the Cake:

1. Preheat the Oven: Position a rack in the center of your oven and preheat it to 350 degrees F. Generously butter and flour a 10 or 12-cup Bundt pan, ensuring every nook and cranny is covered to prevent sticking. Set aside.

2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a small saucepan, combine the butter, cocoa powder, salt, and water. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and baking soda. This will ensure even distribution of the leavening agent.

4. Create the Batter: Add half of the melted butter mixture to the dry ingredients. Whisk until completely blended; the mixture will be thick at this stage. Add the remaining butter mixture and whisk again until smooth. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Finally, mix in the sour cream (or Greek yogurt) and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and homogenous.

5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Preparing the Chocolate Glaze:

6. Melt the Chocolate: Place the chopped chocolate and corn syrup in a medium bowl. Set aside.

7. Heat the Cream: In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream and sugar. Place over medium heat and stir until the cream is hot and the sugar has dissolved completely.

8. Combine and Glaze: Pour the hot cream mixture over the chocolate and let sit for a minute to melt. Whisk until the glaze is smooth and glossy. Generously drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake, allowing it to cascade down the sides for a beautiful finish.

Serving Suggestions

Slice the cake and serve it as is, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence. This cake pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk.
