The Best Bundt Chocolate Cake Recipe You’ll Need
The delectable cake is a cross between a cake and a brownie. It’s denser than a cake but not as fudgy as a brownie – either way – it’s truly delicious. The icing is made with condensed milk, butter and melted chocolate making the perfect topping for this indulgent cake.
Why This Recipe Works

Step By Step Instructions
Beat together the melted butter, sugar, brown sugar, coffee, and vanilla until smooth.

Add to a greased pan.
Bake until a cake tester comes out clean.
I made the cake using an eight-inch pan. If you’re in the US, you can get one like mine here from Amazon. (#paidlink). I have to say I was really impressed because with just a light coating of Wilton’s Cake Release which you can also get on Amazon here (#paidlink), the cake came out of the pan by doing nothing but flipping the pan over onto the cooling rack. I have never had so little trouble with a bundt pan before!
Allow to cool while you prepare the icing.
To prepare the icing, gently heat the butter and sugar together until both are melted. Stir in the condensed milk and vanilla and cook until it just starts to bubble. Add the chocolate chips.
Stir until melted. Set aside to cool, stirring occasionally to keep smooth.
Pour the icing over the cake and scatter with more chocolate chips while both are still warm and serve it warm or let it cool before serving.
Serve and enjoy every last bite!
Tips for the perfect Bundt Cake
- Use A Nonstick Pan. Non-stick pans are a great solution to the challenges with Bundt cakes. A good nonstick pan will allow easy removal after baking.
- Use a Scratch Free Pan. Older non-stick pans with scratches or worn non-stick surfaces may no longer be slick enough to release your cake easily.
- Grease the pan thoroughly. Use Wilton’s Cake Release (#paidlink).or a non-stick vegetable oil spray — not butter when greasing the pan. Butter’s milk solids can act like glue, causing the cake batter to stick to the pan.
