Chocolate Sour Cream Bundt Cake

This cake is AMAZING. It is rich and moist. Decadent. If you have ever had a chocolate cake from Sam's Club or Costco, this is even better.

I adapted the recipe from this blog.

Ingredients:
2/3 C cocoa powder, plus extra for dusting pan
3/4 C semisweet chocolate chips
2/3 C boiling water
1 1/2 C flour
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp of kosher salt
13 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 2/3 C brown sugar
3 eggs
2 2/3 tsp vanilla
1 C sour cream
1 C semisweet chocolate chips
Ganache:
2/3 C semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/3 Tbs unsalted butter
1/3 C heavy cream
mini chocolate chips, if desired

Directions:
Have the ingredients at room temperature. Preheat the oven to 325. Thoroughly grease your bundt pan and dust with cocoa powder. In a small bowl, combine cocoa powder and chocolate. Add the boiling water and stir until the chips are melted and smooth.

Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt onto a piece of parchment paper. Set aside.

In your electric mixing bowl, beat butter until smooth. Add brown sugar and beat on medium speed for up to 5 minutes, until mixture lightens in color. You can stop the mixer periodically to scrape down the bowl. Add eggs one at a time and then add vanilla.

While your mixer is running on slow, alternately add the sifted flour mixture with the sour cream in 3 additions, beginning and ending with flour. Slowly pour in the chocolate mixture and beat until entire mixture is brown and there are no white streaks. Fold in chocolate chips.

Pour batter into bundt pan. Spread batter so the sides are about 1 inch higher than the center. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 60-65 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out with just a few crumbs. Let cool on cooling rack for 15 minutes. Then carefully invert and de-pan. Let cool completely before adding ganache, at least 1 hour.

To make the ganache, heat heavy cream in a small saucepan. When it just comes to a boil, add the butter and chocolate chips. Whisk until smooth. Let it cool for about 1 minute until it starts to thicken. Pour ganache over top of cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Sprinkle the top with mini chocolate chips while the ganache is still warm.
