Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chopped
- 1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups powdered sugar sifted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan very thoroughly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream and milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Divide the batter in half. In one half, stir in the cocoa powder until well combined.
- Spoon alternating dollops of vanilla and chocolate batter into the prepared bundt pan.
- Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the batters together to create a marbled effect.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the chocolate glaze. In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (or in the microwave in 30-second intervals), melt the chocolate and butter together, stirring until smooth.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the milk and vanilla extract. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, mixing until smooth and glossy.
- Once the cake is completely cool, pour the chocolate glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides. Let the glaze set before serving.
