Time 55m

Yield 1 bundt cake

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 ounces unsweetened chocolate
1/4 cup sugar plus 1 cup sugar (I always use unbleached white sugar)
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup sour cream or 1/4 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup butter, softened
3 eggs
2 cups unbleached flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
confectioners' sugar (for dusting)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Grease an 8" bundt pan with butter then lightly dust with flour.
  • In a double boiler melt the unsweetened chocolate with 1/4 cup sugar, water and vanilla extract. Stir. Set aside to cool. (I used a heatproof glass container and melted the mixture in a microwave.).
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the remaining 1 cup sugar, sour cream and the softened butter until light and fluffy.
  • Mix in the eggs one at a time.
  • Sift the flour with the baking powder, salt and baking soda.
  • Mixing on slow speed, alternate dry ingredients and the buttermilk into the mixture.
  • Mixing on low speed, beat until just incorporated, stopping to scrape down the sides.
  • Once combined, beat on high speed for 2 1/2 minutes.
  • Set aside 2 1/2 cups of the batter.
  • Beat the melted chocolate mixture into the large mixing bowl of batter until combined and smooth.
  • Alternately spoon the plain batter and the chocolate batter in the prepared bundt pan.
  • Use a butter knife to cut through the batter to create a marble effect.
  • Bake for approximately 40-45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cook cake 10 minutes, invert onto a cake platter.
  • Dust with confectioner's sugar while still warm.
  • Yield: One 8" bundt cake.
