Super moist homemade chocolate cake recipe that is full of rich chocolate flavor and topped with a thick chocolate butter glaze.  This from scratch chocolate cake can be made in a bundt pan or tube pan.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon. baking soda
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 eggs large
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract divided
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2/3 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 3 Tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 Tablespoons water
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil
  • 1-4 oz. semi sweet chocolate baking bar
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350˚ F and butter and flour a tube or bundt pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar and baking soda and set aside.
  • In a microwave safe bowl, combine the butter, cocoa powder, salt, and milk and heat at one minute intervals until you get a rich hot cocoa like consistency.  Pour the melted chocolate mixture into your dry bowl and whisk until you no longer see flour.
  • Add your eggs one at a time using the whisk just until combined and do the same with 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla. Gently fold in the sour cream and dark chocolate chips.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • When the cake has cooled for at least 15 minutes, gently insert a knife along the sides of the pan and flip it over to reveal the decoration. If using a regular tube pan, remove the bottom.
  • To make the glaze, melt the salted butter, coconut oil, water, and baking chocolate in a small saucepan. Whisk in your powdered sugar and remaining 1/2 tsp. vanilla. Use a blender to remove any lumps. Drizzle or spread the glaze onto your cake.
