Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Brush a 10 cup bundt pan with 1 tablespoon of melted butter and coat with cocoa powder.

In a large bowl, whisk together the cake flour, cocoa powders, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar for 2-3 minutes until light & fluffy.

Mixing on low speed, add the eggs one a time.

Scrape down the bowl and mix in the vanilla.

Add half of the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Mix in the sour cream and oil.

Add the rest of the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Scrape down the bowl to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.

Pour the batter into the bundt pan and smooth out the top.

Tap the pan on the counter a few times to to release any air bubbles.

Bake the bundt cake for about 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then use a knife to loosen the cake from the sides. Turn the cake out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

In a small bowl, sift the powdered sugar.

Pour the hot espresso over the powdered sugar and stir vigorously until smooth.

Place in the fridge for about 15 minutes to thicken up.

Pour over the cooled bundt cake and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Bloom Your Espresso Powder 🌫️
Dissolve espresso powder in hot espresso before adding to the batter to intensify coffee flavor and prevent grittiness throughout the cake.
Room Temperature Ingredients Are Essential 🌡️
Bring eggs, sour cream, and butter to room temperature before mixing to ensure smooth emulsification and a uniform, tender crumb structure.
Don't Overmix After Adding Flour ⚠️
Fold in the flour mixture gently until just combined to maintain the soft, moist texture; overmixing develops gluten and creates a dense, tough cake.
Oil and Butter Balance for Moisture 🧈
The combination of both neutral oil and butter creates unmatched moisture and tenderness—oil keeps it soft while butter provides rich flavor.
Cool in Pan Before Inverting ⏱️
Let the bundt cake rest in its pan for 15-20 minutes before inverting to allow the structure to set, preventing cracks or collapse.
