Chocolate Bundt Cake

Alex Kornswiet
This cake is fantastic because you can eat it as is, pour a simple vanilla glaze over it (or chocolate, or any flavor you want - mint even?), and just cut and enjoy! It's easy to serve and it's delicious. I made it into a giant doughnut - so the possibilities are there!

Servings 1 Bundt Cake

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup dark cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon instant espresso
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 F
  • Bring your water to a boil in the small pot. Turn off once it's bubbling, so none of it evaporates.
  • Mix flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and instant espresso powder in the large bowl. Mix until combined.
  • Add milk, oil, egg, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Mix until combined, and keep stirring an extra minute or so to incorporate air into the mixture.
  • Carefully pour in the boiling water, and stir until combined. Be careful with this so you don't burn yourself.
  • Evenly distribute the batter between 2 bundt pans.
  • Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until you can insert a toothpick and it comes out clean.
  • Enjoy warm or let cool! Decorate as you wish!
