Ingredients
Scale

- 2.25 cups (450 g) granulated sugar
- 6 oz (170 g) quality chocolate chips
- 0.75 cup (75 g) cocoa powder (regular or Dutch processed)
- 1.25 cups (300 ml) brewed coffee
- 1.25 cups (300 ml) buttermilk
- 1 cup (240 ml) vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup (120 ml) heavy cream, plus 1-3 tbsps if needed
- 2 eggs plus 1 egg yolk
- 2.5 tsps baking soda
- 1.25 tsps kosher salt
- 1.5 tsps vanilla extract
Instructions
- Oven Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°F and meticulously spray a 12-cup bundt pan with non-stick coating to ensure seamless cake release.
- Coffee-Cocoa Fusion: Whisk brewed coffee and cocoa powder in a microwave-safe bowl, heating intermittently until achieving a silky, integrated liquid. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Batter Foundation: In a stand mixer, combine sugar, salt, baking soda, eggs, and egg yolk, blending on low speed while periodically scraping bowl edges to guarantee uniform incorporation.
- Liquid Integration: Incorporate buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, continuing to mix on low speed and ensuring comprehensive ingredient distribution.
- Flour Transformation: Gradually add all-purpose flour, elevating mixer speed to medium to cultivate a luxurious, velvety batter texture.
- Flavor Harmonization: Delicately fold the cooled coffee-cocoa liquid into the batter, mixing at medium speed to prevent egg curdling and create a consistent, rich flavor profile.
- Pan Deployment: Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading evenly to guarantee balanced baking performance.
- Baking Performance: Position pan on center oven rack, baking for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick test reveals minimal moist crumbs.
- Cooling Protocol: Allow cake to rest in pan for 15 minutes, then carefully invert onto a cooling rack, permitting complete temperature equilibration before serving.
Notes
- Optimize Coffee Intensity: Use freshly brewed, strong coffee for maximum flavor depth and rich chocolate undertones.
- Prevent Cake Sticking: Thoroughly grease bundt pan with non-stick spray and dust with cocoa powder for flawless cake release.
- Temperature Precision: Let ingredients reach room temperature before mixing to ensure smooth batter and consistent texture.
- Master Mixing Technique: Avoid overmixing flour to prevent tough, dense cake; blend just until ingredients are incorporated.
