How to Make Double Chocolate Bundt Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.
  2. Melt 2 ounces (57g) of the chocolate in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring constantly until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted chocolate, 1 cup (240ml) vegetable oil, and 1 ¾ cups (350g) granulated sugar until well combined.
  4. Whisk in 2 large eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, ¾ cup (42g) unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. In a small bowl, combine ½ cup (120ml) freshly brewed strong coffee and ½ cup (120ml) buttermilk.
  7. Gradually add half of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with half of the coffee mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  8. Repeat with the remaining dry ingredients and coffee mixture, mixing until the batter is smooth.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread evenly.
  10. Bake in the lower third of the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  11. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. While the cake cools, prepare the ganache: In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream to a boil.
  13. In a heatproof bowl, combine the remaining 3 ounces (85g) of chocolate, 2 tablespoons (30ml) light corn syrup, and 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter.
  14. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate mixture and let stand for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy.
  15. Let the ganache cool slightly until it thickens to a pourable consistency.
  16. Once the cake is completely cool, pour the ganache over the top, allowing it to drizzle down the sides.
  17. Let the ganache set completely before serving. Enjoy!
