Chocolate Bundt Cake


I needed a chocolate fix, boy I sure got it! I love bundt cakes! I was thinking the cakes that I've made in this pan has mostly been rum. Which is delicious! I'll have to make that soon!  

Here's the recipe. 

Flour mixture:
2 1/4 cups of flour
3/4 cups of unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

Milk mixture:
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream

Butter mixture:
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cup sugar 

4 eggs 
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract


Butter you bundt pan. Preheat your oven to 320 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Beat butter mixture until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at time. Add vanilla. Mix the flour mixture in small bowl. Mix the milk mixture in a measuring cup. Alternating flour and milk mixture, add to butter mixture, starting and ending with flour mixture. It works best to pour half the flour mix, when it's combined add all of the milk mixture then finish with the remaining flour. Stir until just combined. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 55 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean.

Let cake cool completely. 

Ganache:

In a small sauce pan heat 1/2 cup of heavy cream to a simmer. In a heat proof bowl add 3 oz chocolate chopped. Pour cream over chocolate let sit for 2 minutes. Add  2 tablespoons of butter and wisk until smooth. Let it cool for a bit, whisking every once in awhile until thickened. 

Pour over cake and enjoy right away. If you can stand it, this can be covered and let set at room temperature for 1 day.
