Red Velvet Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake Recipe

Recipe Courtesy of Nordic Ware with Permission.

Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 3/4 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
• 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
• 1 cup buttermilk at room temperature
• 3 large eggs at room temperature
• 2 tablespoons or more, red food coloring
• 1 teaspoon white distilled vinegar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Chocolate Ganache Drizzle:

• 1 cup milk chocolate (or semi-sweet), chopped
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup whipping cream

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and lightly flour the pan.

In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, buttermilk, oil, food coloring, vinegar, and vanilla.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet, 1 cup at a time, slowly so the batter doesn't develop clumps. Once the batter is thoroughly mixed, stir in chocolate chips.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and place it in the oven. Bake for 30-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.

Cool the cake in the pan for at least 10 minutes and then invert it onto a cooling rack.

To make the chocolate ganache drizzle, place the chopped chocolate and butter into a bowl and set aside. Bring the whipping cream to a boil over medium heat, then pour it over the chocolate and butter. Let it sit for about one minute before stirring.

Let the ganache sit for 5-10 minutes or until it begins to thicken, then spoon it over the cooled Bundt cake.
