Cuisine: American
Serves: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup brewed coffee
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Thoroughly grease and flour a 10-12 cup bundt pan, ensuring all crevices are well-coated to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. This helps remove any lumps and ensures even distribution of dry ingredients.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the sugar, brewed coffee, vegetable oil, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with an electric mixer on medium speed. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix the batter.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure even distribution.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake - it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. This allows the cake to set and makes it easier to remove from the pan.
- Carefully invert the cake onto a wire cooling rack and let it cool completely before serving or adding any optional glaze or frosting.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a chocolate coffee glaze for extra flavor and presentation.
