Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake Recipe

Of all of my favourite baking pans, it’s the common-or-garden bundt cake pan that’s my MVP!

I bake extra bundt muffins than layer muffins as a result of they’re simply SO straightforward. Merely scrape the cake batter into the pan, bake the cake, and enhance with a frosting or glaze. No fussy layering or processional cake baking expertise required!

And at present’s new recipe for chocolate chip bundt cake is SURE to be in heavy rotation year-round. Extremely buttery and dense (like pound cake) this bundt is exploding with mini chocolate chips and loads of vanilla extract for further taste! Let’s get baking!

Chocolate Chip Bundt Elements

• All-purpose Flour: for greatest outcomes, that is the one flour I can suggest utilizing. Nut or oat flours will NOT work right here.
• Baking Powder: Be certain your baking powder is contemporary and DO NOT substitute baking soda as a substitute.
• Salt: A small quantity of salt is crucial to stability sweetness and improve flavors.
• Cinnamon: Provides a refined spice with out overwhelming. And actually compliments the chocolate.
• Nutmeg: Ditto to what I stated above. Floor nutmeg works nice, however you probably have contemporary nutmeg, be at liberty to make use of it. Simply don’t use greater than the quantity known as for.
• Butter: Unsalted butter works greatest right here, and be sure you convey it to room temperature earlier than including it to the batter.
• Cream Cheese: Brick-style cream cheese works greatest for this recipe. Make certain to make use of full-fat and produce it to room temperature earlier than use.
• Sugar: Granulated sugar sweetens our cake. Brown sugar shouldn’t be substituted; it can add further moisture which may trigger stability points and darken the general colour of the cake.
• Vanilla Extract: At all times use actual vanilla extract, not imitation or essence. I do know vanilla is pricey however actual is at all times value it. Purchase a giant bottle like this (affiliate hyperlink) to save lots of $ in the long term!
• Almond Extract: I’m a giant fan of the refined taste almond extract provides, however you might omit this ingredient if desired.
• Eggs: Make sure you use giant eggs and produce them to room temperature earlier than use. You’ll need to add the eggs separately to attain the right batter consistency.
• Bitter Cream: When you can’t discover bitter cream, sub full-fat Greek yogurt or milk.
• Oil: Canola oil, vegetable oil, or refined coconut oil all work right here. If utilizing coconut oil, be sure you heat it till it’s liquified and let it cool barely.
• Chocolate Chips: I like these mini chocolate chips, however common sized chocolate chips may even work. The pockets of chocolate will simply be barely bigger (by no means a nasty factor) and extra chocolate chips would possibly accumulate close to the underside of the cake since they’re heavier than minis.

Make that Shiny Glaze

To make the gorgeously shiny chocolate glaze you see in these pictures, you’ll want:

• Bittersweet chocolate: Very finely chopped works greatest as a result of it’ll soften quick and evenly. Don’t use chocolate chips.
• Heavy Cream: AKA whipping cream! Don’t sub milk and even half and half.
• Gentle Corn Syrup: This ingredient is completely elective however will give your chocolate glaze a stunning shine. When you’d slightly not use it, that’s effective. Your glaze will nonetheless be scrumptious!

Bundt Cake Pan Fundamentals

1. Sure, you positively want a Bundt Cake pan for this recipe. I don’t counsel utilizing this recipe for cupcakes, layer muffins, or sheet muffins.
2. The most effective and best approach to prep a Bundt Cake pan is to GENEROUSLY spray it with a nonstick baking spray. My two favorites? Baker’s Joy and PAM Baking Spray. Make sure you spray each nook and cranny!
3. To verify doneness, you’ll use the toothpick technique. If a toothpick inserted within the middle of the bundt cake comes out clear, it’s able to go!
4. As soon as the cake is completed baking, you’ll need to cool it within the pan on high of a cooling rack for quarter-hour. Then invert the cake onto a separate cooling rack to chill utterly to room temperature.
5. When you flip at quarter-hour and the Bundt Cake doesn’t simply launch from the pan, flip it again over and let it cool for an additional 5 minutes, then attempt once more.

Freezing a Bundt Cake

I’ve had nice success freezing this cake! Right here’s what it is best to do:

1. Bake the cake as directed.
2. Cool utterly.
3. Wrap the complete cake in plastic wrap.
4. Then wrap the cake is serval layers of aluminum foil.
5. Place on a flat, secure floor in your freezer.
6. Freeze for as much as 2 months!
7. Thaw, wrapped, within the fridge, for at the least 8 hours earlier than you intend on serving.

I personally suggest freezing this cake unglazed, then including the glaze proper earlier than you intend on serving.
