How to Make Chocolate Mayan Bundt Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in 45-second intervals on high, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, and ½ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the melted chocolate.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup buttermilk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Gradually add the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients alternately to the creamed mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, transfer the cake to a serving platter.
- Prepare the chocolate glaze (see below).
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and let it set before serving.
- **Chocolate Glaze:**

- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons heavy cream, and a pinch of salt.
- Add the melted chocolate and stir until smooth. Add more powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed, to reach desired consistency.
- Spoon or drizzle the glaze over the cake.
