Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Amaretto liqueur
• 1 cup Boiling water
• 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
• 0.33 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Amaretto liqueur (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a bundt pan, ensuring all crevices are coated to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In another mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, oil, and amaretto liqueur until fully combined and smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients while mixing. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the boiling water while mixing on low speed or stirring. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.

Step 6

Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips with a spatula.

Step 7

Carefully pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then gently invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

To prepare the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, amaretto liqueur, and heavy cream until smooth and pourable.

Step 11

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bundt cake, letting it cascade down the sides for a decorative finish.

Step 12

Slice and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
