How to Make Rich Chocolate Bundt Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan thoroughly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, buttermilk, and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the boiling water; the batter will be thin.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Once completely cool, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with your favorite chocolate glaze (optional). Serve with a tall glass of cold milk – it's the perfect pairing!
  9. Enjoy this incredibly moist and delicious chocolate bundt cake!
