Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder (preferably Dutch-processed)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (110g) brown sugar (light or dark)
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 ounces (170g) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup (240g) sour cream
  • 1 cup (175g) chocolate chips (semisweet or milk)
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your bundt pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray, then dust it lightly with cocoa powder.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Melt bittersweet or semisweet chocolate gently over a double boiler or in 30-second bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly, then fold into the butter and egg mixture.
  6. Add the dry ingredients alternately with sour cream to the wet mixture, beginning and ending with the dry. Mix just until combined.
  7. Fold in chocolate chips gently to distribute evenly.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release air bubbles.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter. The cake should spring back lightly when pressed.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Optional: Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple chocolate glaze.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and butter for smooth batter. Do not overmix after adding flour to avoid a dense cake. Melt chocolate gently to prevent seizing. Grease and dust bundt pan with cocoa powder for easy release. Tent with foil if top browns too fast. Sour cream is essential for moist, creamy texture. Cake tastes best after resting a day.
