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
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 3 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup hot coffee
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate (chopped or chips for ganache)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease and flour a 10-12 cup bundt pan.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Slowly stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.

Step 5

Pour in the hot coffee and mix until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin; this is normal.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing out the top with a spatula.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

To make the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.

Step 11

Place the chopped chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl and pour the hot cream over it. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.

Step 12

Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the ganache over the top, letting it run down the sides for a luscious finish.

Step 13

Let the ganache set for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.
