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
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease and flour a bundt or tube pan.
- 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.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Alternate adding the dry mixture with buttermilk to the wet mixture, starting and ending with flour. Fold in chocolate chips.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
