  • Total Time: 105 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp double chocolate extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • For the chocolate glaze:
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp double chocolate extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease and flour a bundt or tube pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 4 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract and double chocolate extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Alternate adding the dry mixture with buttermilk to the wet mixture, starting and ending with flour. Fold in chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 70–80 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. For the glaze, heat heavy cream in a saucepan until simmering. Pour over chocolate chips in a bowl, let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Stir in double chocolate extract.
  7. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and allow to set before slicing.

Notes

For a richer chocolate taste, add chocolate chunks instead of chips. You can also try substituting Greek yogurt for buttermilk for a healthier twist.
