Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 3 cups (600 g) granulated sugar
- 6 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¼ cups (281 g) cake flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ cup (64 g) dutch process cocoa powder
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1 cup (170 g) dark chocolate chips
- 8 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- ¾ cup (178.5 g) heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 pinch kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and prepare a 10-inch bundt pan with nonstick spray and optional flour.
- Melt the chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, stirring until smooth, then set aside to cool slightly.
- In a stand mixer, cream together softened butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the bowl as needed. Mix in vanilla extract.
- With the mixer on low, slowly add the cooled melted chocolate and mix until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Combine half of the dry ingredients into the wet batter and mix on low until just incorporated.
- Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix just until no streaks remain; avoid overmixing. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and tap to release air bubbles.
- Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick at 55 minutes. Cover with foil if browning too quickly.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack and cool completely before adding ganache.
Notes
Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
If desired, you can add nuts or other mix-ins to the batter for added texture.
Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
