Tips:
- To ensure moist and fluffy cakes, make sure to use room temperature ingredients and do not overmix the batter.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- If you don't have a bundt pan, you can also use two 9-inch round cake pans. Just bake them for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- To make a glaze, simply whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Drizzle it over the cooled cake before serving.
