Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 3 pcs Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons Milk
• 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon to create the filling.

Step 6

Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture evenly over the batter.

Step 7

Pour the remaining batter over the filling layer, smoothing the surface with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9

While the cake bakes, prepare the chocolate glaze by melting the dark chocolate chips with 3 tablespoons of milk in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.

Step 10

Once the cake is baked, let it cool for 15 minutes in the pan.

Step 11

In a separate bowl, whisk the powdered sugar with 3 tablespoons of milk until a smooth glaze forms.

Step 12

Drizzle the chocolate glaze and powdered sugar glaze over the cooled cake in a decorative pattern.

Step 13

Slice the cake into 12 equal pieces and serve. Enjoy your rich, chocolatey honey bun cake!
