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.
Storage Instructions:
Store your bundt cake, covered, at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Made this tonight and had rave reviews from everyone! Thank you!
Best pointer was that every oven is different….glad I took the cake out at 32 minutes…kept it moist and even guests commented on the texture! I used greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Sprinkled with powder sugar, had vanilla ice cream and rasberries with it…this recipe is a keeper!
So glad it was a keeper for you! May you enjoy it many more times.
I made this bundt cake a few days ago for guest. Ever so delicious!! I’ve made your 3 layer chocolate cake and red velvet cake and so many compliments.. I have one question..On your measuring flour..do you spoon the flour into the measuring cup OR do you dip your measuring cup into the flour? I normally spoon it but want to do it the way you do. Thanks for many great recipes.
Fluff, scoop, and sweep is the method I use.
Any time I have a craving for chocolate cake this is the one I make. It’s so deliciously chocolate and yummy. Next time I think I might try the black chocolate cocoa next time. I might be addicted to chocolate.
Do you need to refrigerate this cake if you do not ice it?
No, you do not. The cake can safely sit at room temperature.
Could I add some semi sweet chocolate chips to the batter or would that be overkill ?
You definitely can. It’ll work great!
