Kittencal's Moist One Bowl Dark Chocolate Bundt Cake Recipe

This legendary recipe, enjoyed for over 30 years, delivers a supremely moist and delicious dark chocolate bundt cake that's unbelievably easy to make! Simply dump all ingredients into one bowl, no separate egg-beating required. For a subtle orange twist, substitute orange juice (or a mix of juice and water) for some or all of the water. This cake tastes remarkably similar to the chocolate wafer part of an Oreo cookie—no wonder our family calls it "Oreo Cake"! Perfect for potlucks, birthdays, or any occasion, you'll find yourself baking this again and again. Optional: Slice in half and fill with vanilla frosting, or sprinkle with a streusel topping (recipe included!). Generously grease and flour your bundt pan for perfect release (we recommend using recipe #78579). For a decadent glaze, check out recipe #315210.
