Equipment

  • Bundt Pan

Ingredients
  

For the Cake

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup oil vegetable or canola oil
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips plus more for sprinkling on top (optional)

For the ganache

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 cups chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease and flour a standard size bundt pan (make sure to grease it really well so the cake doesn't stick! I spread a thin layer of shortening all over the inside of the pan, then sprinkle a little flour all around and pat and shake the pan until it is evenly coated.)
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and cinnamon, set aside.
  • Add butter to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once butter has melted, stir in oil, cocoa powder and water and bring mixture just to a boil, whisking constantly.
  • Pour hot butter mixture into flour mixture and stir. Stir in buttermilk, eggs and vanilla and whisk mixture until well combined. Fold in mini chocolate chips, if using.
  • Pour mixture into prepared bundt pan and bake 45-55 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  • Cool cake in the pan for 5 minutes, then invert onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Once cake has cooled, make ganache.
  • Place cream in a large microwave safe bowl and heat for about 2 minutes, or until the cream is simmering.
  • Carefully pour chocolate morsels into cream and allow mixture to sit for 5 minutes.
  • Whisk the chocolate and cream until shiny and smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Use a large spoon to drizzle the ganache over the cooled cake. Sprinkle with remaining mini chocolate chips, if desired.
