Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
• 1.25 cups buttermilk
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.25 cup powdered sugar (for garnish)
• 6 pieces fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a bundt pan with butter or nonstick spray, ensuring all crevices are coated.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and softened butter using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and peppermint extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Carefully invert the bundt pan onto a wire rack and remove the cake, allowing it to cool completely.

Step 10

Once the cake has cooled, sift powdered sugar over the top for a simple garnish. Optionally, decorate with fresh mint leaves for added flair.

Step 11

Slice and serve your Chocolate Mint Bundt Cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired. Enjoy!
