Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup whole milk (or buttermilk for extra richness)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Chocolate Glaze:

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan or loaf pan.
  2. Cream butter & sugar: In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3–4 minutes).
  3. Add eggs: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
  4. Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Combine: Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix just until smooth—don’t overmix.
  6. Bake: Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Glaze (optional): Heat cream and butter until just simmering, pour over chocolate chips, and stir until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cake.
