Double Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake Ingredients
- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (1 cup): Your favorite unsweetened cocoa powder will work well in this recipe.
- Bittersweet Chocolate, chopped (6 ounces): Adds a rich, intense chocolate flavor. It adds depth of flavor to the cake. An excellent quality baking bar chocolate works best in this recipe.
- Boiling Water (3/4 cup): Helps melt the cocoa and bittersweet chocolate together, making a smooth mixture to add to the other ingredients.
- All-Purpose Flour (1 ¾ cups): The gluten in all-purpose flour gives the cake structure. It is the best choice for sturdy cakes, including ones with chocolate chips.
- Salt (1 teaspoon): Helps enhance the flavors and balances the sweetness of the batter.
- Baking Soda (1 teaspoon): Acts as a leavening agent. It helps the cake rise and gives baked goods a light and fluffy texture.
- Unsalted Butter (10 tablespoons): Butter adds a layer of richness and helps keep the batter tender. Unsalted butter is best for baked goods, making it easier to control the same amount of sodium in the final dessert.
- Brown Sugar (2 cups): Adds a rich buttery, caramel flavor to the batter. Light or dark brown sugar may be used in this recipe. Use chestnut brown sugar for a deeper flavor or light brown sugar for a lighter flavor.
- Vanilla Extract (1 tablespoon): An essential ingredient in many desserts, it enhances the flavor of the cake.
- Eggs (5): Creates the thickness and stability in the batter. Eggs bond with the flour to create the texture of the batter by forming a stronger gluten. The eggs also help add height to the cake.
- Daisy Sour Cream (1 ½ cups): The star ingredient that adds moistness and smoothness to the batter. It gives the cake a tender crumb and a slightly tangy taste.
- Semisweet Chocolate Chips (1 cup): The perfect balance of bitterness and sweetness, they are the ideal baking chip for cookies and cakes and add a nice texture to the cake.
- Powdered Sugar (pinch): Finely ground sugar with no hint of graininess. It adds a pretty, elegant finishing touch to the cake and is a quick and easy embellishment.
Substitutions, Variations, and Tips
- Dutch or dark chocolate cocoa powder may be used in place of unsweetened cocoa. Dutch cocoa powder will create a less intense chocolate flavor.
- Do not pack the flour in your measuring cup. Packing the flour will lead to tougher, denser cakes. Over-fill the measuring cup and level off with a knife.
- Cake flour may be used in place of all-purpose flour.
- Did you know that brown sugar is a combination of cane sugar and molasses? The molasses in the sugar is what adds the depth of flavor and adds a bit of chew to baked goods.
- You can use all canola or vegetable oil in place of butter. Oil will make a slightly less rich cake.
- Salted butter may also be used in place of unsalted butter. If using salted butter, omit the additional salt in the batter.
- Chocolate Ganache is a great topper for cake. To make a simple ganache, heat one cup of cream in the microwave until it is warm, but not boiling, stirring often (around 160-180°F). Chop 8 ounces of good semisweet or bittersweet chocolate into tiny pieces. Pour the warm cream over the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl and let sit for 2-5 minutes. Stir to combine. Let the ganache sit for another 5 minutes to cool slightly and then drizzle over the cooled cake (pouring over a hot cake will make the ganache slide off and pool at the bottom of your cake plate).

- When choosing mushrooms, look for ones that are firm and dry. Both white and brown mushrooms work well in this recipe. Brown mushrooms have a deeper, earthier flavor than white mushrooms which become more pronounced when cooked.
- Any color of bell peppers may be used. Green bell peppers are slightly bitter with a bite, while red, orange, and yellow bell peppers are sweeter, milder, and mellower.
- White or yellow onions may be used in place of red onions. Yellow and white onions are a bit sweeter and have less bite than red onions.
- Any type of mushroom may be used in place of brown or white mushrooms.

- Non-stick cooking spray may be used liberally instead of canola oil for a lighter option.

- Try adding a sprinkle of finely grated salty cheese, such as parmesan, asiago, Manchego, or feta.

- The key to extra crispy wedges? Soak the cut potato wedges in ice-cold water for 10-20 minutes to remove some of the starch. Make sure to completely dry the potatoes once removed from the water. Dry potatoes will yield crispier wedges.
- Wedges may be made in the air fryer instead of the oven. To air fry, reduce the amount of oil to 1 ½ tablespoons. Place in an air fryer basket in a single layer, preheated to 400° Air fry for 10 minutes, flip, and cook another 5 minutes.
- Leftovers may be stored in a zip-top bag for 3 days. They reheat well in the oven or air fryer (350°F for 10 minutes or until warm).
