What makes this homemade chocolate Bundt cake recipe so unique?
In addition to the ingredients working wonderfully together, the beaten egg whites that you fold into the cake batter make this cake extra silky in its way. The chopped chocolate then gives this texture the crowning touch. The melted chocolate chips give each bite a chocolaty experience. The chocolate chips and the beaten egg whites make the Bundt cake not dull and dry but incredibly moist and chocolatey to the max! What this Bundt cake additionally still comes to good, is that it is fructose-free. 👍
I love this double chocolate cake and bake it several times a year because it just tastes so terrific.
🔪 Instructions
To prepare, and before you can actually start with this delicious chocolate cake, preheat your oven to 356 °F / 180 °C top/bottom heat. Butter the Bundt pans and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. (This will help immensely so that the cake can be removed from the pan quickly and easily after baking. It also saves you from using a nonstick spray (which I'm not a fan of anyway). I prefer it as natural as possible. So: butter and breadcrumbs! 😉)
First, melt the butter with 14.12 oz (400 g) of the dark chocolate coating in a water bath. Meanwhile, separate the eggs and whisk the egg whites stiff in a mixing bowl. Afterward, combine the yolks and sugar and mix for five minutes until you get a creamy texture.
Now pour in the butter-chocolate mixture while stirring, and then fold in the flour and baking powder (use your kitchen machine on medium speed for all that mixing and folding).
Now add the chopped milk chocolate and the rest of the chopped dark chocolate couverture pieces and mix the mixture well.
In the next step, fold the beaten egg whites into the dough. (This whipped egg whites will give you that wonderful light, pleasant consistency in your cake.)
Pour the batter into your prepared Bundt pans and bake on the second rack from the bottom for about 50 minutes. To be on the safe side, check the cake with a toothpick at the end of the baking time. As soon as no more dough sticks to the toothpick, the cake is ready.
Take the Bundt cakes out of the oven and let them cool for 15 minutes before removing them from the pan. Let it finish cooling on a cooling rack, and then it is ready to be eaten.
Dust the cake with a tad of powdered sugar and serve this delicacy as is; that's all it takes. Neither glaze nor whipped cream you need here because the cake is the best as it is.
Now that I've put the recipe on "paper" in this blog post, I've got such an appetite for this Bundt cake that I'm about to bake myself another one! Yummy! I can not wait! 🥰
