Categories     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 17

¾ cup butter (room temperature)
1 2/3 cups light brown sugar
¾ cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
¾ cup milk
2½ cups all-purpose flour *
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
1½ cups brown rice flour
¾ cup tapioca starch
½ cup potato starch
1½ teaspoon xanthan gum
1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Arrange an oven rack in the center of the oven. Thoroughly grease and lightly flour a 12-cup bundt pan and set it aside.
  • Beat the butter and sugars together, on medium speed, until fluffy crumbs form. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, beat again until smooth. Add the milk, beat on low speed to combine. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat again, just until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and pecans.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 60-65 minutes, until deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with moist crumbs. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, place the cooling rack on top of the cake, hold the sides firmly and invert the pan over the rack. The cake should drop smoothly out of the pan. Tap firmly on the pan with a wooden spoon, if necessary to free the cake from the pan. Let the cake cool completely.
  • To make the frosting, combine the chocolate chips and butter in a small glass bowl. Microwave at 50% POWER for 90 seconds. Stir to combine. Microwave an additional 30 seconds at full power and stir again. Microwave 30 seconds more, if needed, and stir until the chocolate has melted.
  • Pour the frosting over the cake. The frosting will harden as it cools. Store at room temperature, loosely covered, preferably not airtight. This cake will keep nicely for 2-3 days. Enjoy!

3 c sugar

3 c cake flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 c cocoa, unsweetened
1 1/4 c buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla
CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
2 pkg cream cheese
2 stick butter
16 oz confectioners' sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the batter to mix together smoothly and evenly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the cake lighter and more tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Fold in the flour and baking powder gently. Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Do not overbake the cake. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
