Some people may not quite understand the bundt cake design and why there is a hole in their cake, but bundt cakes have been wildly popular since the 1950s. Bundt cakes don’t share a common recipe, and are simply all about the common shape and design. Whether you’re a chocolate lover or not, we’re sure you’re going to love the most amazing chocolate bundt cake.
-
Greasing Your Pans:
You want to be sure to thoroughly grease and flour your bundt cake pans. With all of those ridges and designs, you’d be amazed at how easily batter sticks to the sides! Another popular option amongst home bakers is to use a homemade “miracle” pan release that is a mixture of flour, vegetable oil, and shortening that is then painted onto the bundt cake pan using a brush.
-
Bundt pan sizes:
Bundt pans come in all different sizes and designs, so be sure to pay attention to the cup measurement on your pan. Don’t know what size your bundt pan is? Use a liquid measuring cup to fill it to the top with water, measuring as you go. Once it reaches the point that it is just about to overflow, you’ll know what size your bundt pan is. When making a bundt cake, you want to fill the pan about 2/3rds of the way full. This recipe is designed for a 10-12 cup bundt cake pan and makes 8 cups of chocolate cake batter.
-
Oven Variations in Baking:
This recipe should take between 45-50 minutes to bake in the oven. However, the cake’s doneness is more important than how long it has been baking in the oven. All ovens vary a bit from each other, running either hot or cold, fanned or not. It is best to see recipe instructions as a guide for an approximation of baking time, but don’t worry if your cake is ready sooner or if it needs a few more minutes. You want to bake your chocolate bundt cake until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. For a truly accurate baking experience, we highly recommend an oven thermometer.

I love your recibes, thanks for sharing !!!!
Came across this while looking for cinnamon rolls and your picture stopped me cold, it looks so yummy! I have a great Chocolate cake recipe that I have used for years. Similar but different ingredient measurements. Decided to try yours. I have to mention that am a very picky baker. Easy to mix ingredients (I sifted my cocoa as it is always lumpy). I used my Kitchen Aid (mini bowl and whip)but I see how easy it is to incorporate ingredients with a hand whisk. Truly lovely cake. Rich chocolate, moist, a beautiful texture, beautiful to look at and it… Read more »
The best!!!! I am never disappointed mAking your recipes. I have made numerous during this pandemic (I am sure where the extra 10 pounds came from) all super. The cooking network use to be my go to site now I come right to you. Great work Chef!
I’ve been making this bunt chocolate cake for years now. I googled this recipe about 15years ago,& ive been making it ever since, but Instead of used the chocolate Grenache frosting, I use a chocolate sour cream Frosting, ❤️ It’s My most favorite Chocolate cake! It’s amazing, melt in your mouth, most moist chocolate cake I’ve ever eaten😋🤤 .
Turned out great! Such a moist spongey cake. Could have been a little more chocolately for my taste, but a big hit with my family.
I used Hershey’s Dark Chocolate cocoa and the cake was VERY chocolately. Give that a try, think you will like the result.
Love the recipe
Delicious 😋
Just made this cake and was very easy and taste so good!
I made it today for New Year’s Eve and it was amazing. Very fluffy, soft, tasty and super easy to make. I was surprised that you mixed everything together, because normally I would have beaten eggs with sugar first… but it really isn’t necessary because it was super fluffy this way. I just found that the ganache was too much, so when I make it again (because I will!), I’ll make half of the ganache 🤩
What should the thermometer read when the Bundt cake is done
I made this for my dad’s 86th birthday since his favorite kind of cake is chocolate with chocolate frosting. Was going to do the layered version of this, but then saw you had the bundt cake version, which I felt would be a bit easier for me. WOW!!!! Sooo easy. My family says it’s the best cake they’ve ever had!!! Not overly sweet; moist and even looks pretty! I followed the recipe exactly. Thank you, Rachel, for making me look like a pro. Try it, people!! You WON’T be disappointed!
LOVE THIS RECIPE. Your recipes are awesome. Thank you for sharing.
best bundt chocolate cake ever!!!!!!! its was incredibly moist and fluffy! will be doing more if your recipes ❤️
Made this today! As with all the recipes I make from Stay At Home Chef, another great one! Love all your recipes, Rachel!!😀
An easy to make, tasty, and moist cake. The ganache is necessary as without it the cake doesn’t really have a lot of flavor but the two together are a perfect match of chocolate without being cloyingly sweet. It also looks rather striking.
