Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 200 grams (7.05 ounces) dark chocolate, chopped
- 200 grams (7.05 ounces) unsalted butter
- 200 grams (7.05 ounces) granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 200 grams (7.05 ounces) sour cream
Dry Ingredients:
- 150 grams (5.29 ounces) all-purpose flour
- 25 grams (0.88 ounces) cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
Liquid and Flavor Ingredients:
- 125 milliliters (4.23 fluid ounces) hot water
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the baking vessel by thoroughly coating with butter and dusting with flour to prevent sticking.
- Create a double boiler and gently melt chocolate and butter together, allowing the mixture to cool slightly after achieving a smooth consistency.
- Dissolve coffee granules in hot water, creating a rich liquid flavor enhancer for the cake.
- Sift together dry ingredients including flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure even distribution and prevent lumps.
- Combine sour cream, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl, whisking until the mixture becomes uniformly smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate the melted chocolate and coffee mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until fully integrated.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet batter, using gentle strokes to maintain the cake’s light texture and prevent overmixing.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, ensuring an even distribution and smooth surface.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 40-45 minutes, checking doneness with a skewer that should emerge clean when inserted.
- Allow the cake to rest in the pan for 15 minutes to stabilize its structure before carefully inverting onto a cooling rack.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving to enhance its flavor and texture.
Notes
- Ensure chocolate and butter are melted smoothly without burning by using gentle heat and stirring constantly.
- Coffee enhances chocolate flavor dramatically, so use high-quality espresso powder for deeper, richer taste profile.
- Room temperature ingredients guarantee better cake texture and more even mixing, preventing lumpy batter formation.
- Grease Bundt pan meticulously with butter and flour to prevent cake from sticking, creating perfect cake release when turned out.
