Chocolate Lover’s Bundt Cake – Rich, Decadent & Delicious

Chocolate Lover's Bundt Cake

My son is a chocolate fanatic. He is only six, but he is already obsessed with all things chocolate. There is always a fight in our house when I make a dessert, because he wants all things chocolate, and his sister wants just about anything else at all. This time, my son won. When he got home from school and saw this cake, you would have thought it was Christmas morning. This Chocolate Lover’s Bundt Cake really is a chocolate lover’s dream. It is an indulgent and very moist cake topped with a rich chocolate glaze.

I added sour cream to this cake to help it stay moist for at least a week. I also added chocolate chips in this recipe to make this cake even more chocolatey. The chocolate chips also add a surprising little crunch as you are eating the cake. It all works out in a great way!

When you are baking this cake, be sure not to over bake it. The best part of this cake is how moist it is, so you would not want to dry it out. 48 minutes was the perfect amount of time for mine. Making the chocolate glaze is as simple as mixing a few ingredients together. Just do not make the glaze until you are ready to pour it over the cake, as it will being to harden right after you make it.

These are the ingredients that you will need to make this Chocolate Lover’s Bundt Cake:

  • Granulated sugar

  • Baking soda
  • Baking powder
