Before sharing the recipe for Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake, here are a few baking tips to help you out:

Ingredient Tips

Always use the spoon and level method to measure flour. Scooping flour is a no-no. That technique overpacks flour into the measuring cup which results in a drier, denser crumb than the moist, tender cake you will get from properly measured flour.

For best results be sure all ingredients (butter, eggs, milk and yes, even the sour cream) are at room temperature before beginning the recipe.

Preparation Tips

Even if your bundt pan has a nonstick surface, always grease and flour every nook and cranny before adding the batter for ease of removal after baking.

Cool cake in the bundt pan for 10 minutes after removing it from the oven then carefully turn out onto a baking rack to cool completely before adding the chocolate glaze.

How to Store Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake

Cover bundt cake with plastic wrap then store at room temperature up to 3 days.

Can You Freeze Bundt Cake?

Yes, you can freeze a bundt cake up to 3 months. First cover with plastic wrap then with a layer of aluminum foil and place in an airtight container before freezing. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator then bring to room temperature before serving.

• 1/4 cup whole milk room temperature

Instructions

 

Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy – approximately 2 minutes.
• Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula as needed.
• Beat in sour cream, milk and vanilla until combined. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• Slowly add dry ingredients to wet, beating on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing. Note: batter will be thick.
• Using a spoon, gently stir in mini chocolate chips.
• Spoon batter into prepared bundt pan then level the top with a spatula.
• Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until a tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out with a few moist crumbs.

  Note: Overbaking will dry out the cake.
• Allow cake to cool for 10 minutes in the pan then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before adding glaze.

Chocolate Glaze

• Place chocolate chips in a heat safe bowl. Set aside.
• In a small saucepan, bring heavy cream to a simmer over medium heat.
• Pour hot cream over chocolate chips and allow the mixture to sit undisturbed for 5 minutes.
• After the chocolate has melted, stir until smooth then drizzle over cake.

  *If you prefer a thinner glaze, add more hot cream until desired consistency is reached.

Store

• Cover and store cake at room temperature up to 3 days.
