Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup boiling water
• 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs and then whisk in the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. The batter will be thick.

Step 5

Slowly stir in the boiling water, mixing until the batter becomes smooth and fluid. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Once cooled, dust the cake with powdered sugar for garnish (optional) and serve. Enjoy!
