Chocolate Coffee Bundt Cake Recipes

Steps:

• COMBINE in a large mixer bowl cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, water, liqueur and cinnamon; Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes; Stir in chocolate chips; Spread batter evenly in prepared 10 inch bundt pan, greased and floured.
• BAKE for 50 to 55 minutes; Cool 20 minutes on wire rack, then remove from pan and cool completely on rack set over waxed paper.
• COMBINE in a small saucepan granulated sugar, butter and coffee; Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar, then boil 3 minutes; Remove from heat, stir in liqueur; Let cool.
• POKE holes over surface of warm cake with fork and brush half of glaze over cake, letting it soak in for about 1o minutes; Brush remaining glaze over cake; Cool completely; Dust with confectioner’s sugar.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch bundt pan.
• Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Mix in vanilla.
• Combine flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Pour flour mixture into batter alternately with the sour cream, mixing until just incorporated. Fold in walnuts, mixing just enough to evenly combine. Pour half the batter into the prepared pan.
• Mix the remaining 1/4 cup of white sugar with the cinnamon.
• Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the batter in the pan. Drop remaining cake batter in heaping spoonfuls over filling, covering it as best you can.
• Bake in preheated oven for 8 minutes. Lower heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for an additional 40 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean.

Steps:

• Place a rack in the lower third of the oven and heat to 350 degrees.
• In a small bowl, stir together 1 tablespoon flour with 1 tablespoon natural process cocoa powder. Grease the inside of a 12-cup Bundt pan with butter and dust with this mixture, taking care to coat the pan entirely.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the remaining flour with the baking soda. In a large bowl, stir together remaining cocoa powders with the brown sugar and salt. (Mixture will be lumpy.)
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with the oil, beer and coffee, whisking occasionally. When the butter is fully melted and the mixture is hot, pour this mixture into the large bowl with the cocoa powder mixture, and whisk well to combine. Let this mixture cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, in a large liquid measuring cup or bowl, whisk together the sour cream, eggs and whiskey. Pour this mixture into the cocoa mixture, whisking as you go, until well combined.
• Add the flour in two to three additions, whisking between each addition, until smooth and no clumps remain. (The batter will be a tad thin.)
• Pour batter into the prepared Bundt pan and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, rotating your pan at 30 minutes to ensure even cooking.
• Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes, then invert and release onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• Make the glaze while Bundt is cooling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, sour cream, whiskey, salt and 1 tablespoon of coffee until smooth. The glaze should make slowly disappearing ribbons when you lift the whisk, similar to the texture of molasses or honey. Add more coffee 1 teaspoon at a time as needed. (To test the glaze, drizzle some on an inverted coffee cup or bowl; it should be a little thick and travel slowly down the sides.)
• Once the Bundt has cooled completely, use a piping bag, spatula or spoon to glaze your cake. While the glaze is still wet, sprinkle cacao nibs over the surface, pressing lightly to adhere, and let the glaze set until firm, about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
