Double Chocolate Bundt Cake with Chocolate Ganache

It has been a while since I update my baking activity so finally yesterday I bake something. I was at my in law the day before helping them cleaning up their rented house since the tenant has move out so I invited them for coffee today at our home. Actually I saw this particular cake few days earlier and trying to find a reason to bake it. Well..if it's only me & my hubby…OMG..it is too much both the size & calories!! 

Bundt cake is very light & it is also very easy to do. You do not have to put any glaze or icing on top but just to make things 'prettier' I just decide to put some frosting but a simple one; chocolate ganache. And I am eager to try my new silicon baking tray. I don't normally use silicon type of tray because I just can't believe that it won't melt inside the hot oven!! hahha…But I am really is a 'curious cat' and I do not want the curiosity kill me so what the heck..guna jer la.

So first, as usual, the dry ingredient: flour, cocoa powder, baking soda & salt. Apparently, this cake need a lot of baking soda in order to make it really kembang. Hehhee..So mix all the dry ingredients..

Then chopped the baking chocolate before putting it in a pan for melting..

In a meanwhile, prepare a different bowl to mix the wet ingredients; sugar, eggs and canola oil/ vege oil Here I am using both brown & white sugar with 70% brown & 30% white.

Then add the egg & canola oil..

And finally the melted chocolate. Then add the dry ingredient alternately with milk & black coffee and u will get something like this..

And I usually used a hand spatula to mix the last part of the dry ingredient into the wet mixture..

Then pour the mixture into your baking tray or in my case, my silicon baking tray..huhuh..this is how mine look like..

I already imagine that it will tip over inside the oven or the tray melted into the cake mixture. Hahhaa…but everything went perfectly. Bake the cake in a 180C temperature for 45 minute. And you get…

A nicely shape bundt cake. I cut off a little bit of the bottom part so it be more stable when place on a cake display. Noo…this is not yet the end product because we have not put the chocolate ganache.

For chocolate ganache I used melted baking chocolate, butter, syrup & cream. First you heat up the cream in a pot then when it is hot enough, you pour the chopped baking chocolate and add corn syrup & butter. Stirred until the mixture is very thick and let it cool down for few minutes before you pour on top of the cake. 

So, finally you get thissss…

Yes…I just cant wait for coffee time! Hehhehe…it is now ready to be serve..

Let me share the ingredients;

• 2 cups of flour
• 1/2 cups of cocoa powder
• 1 tbsp of baking soda
• 3/4 tsp of salt
• 3/4 cups of vegetable/canola oil
• 1 egg
• 1 cup of sugar
• 1 cup of black coffee
• 1 cup of buttermilk ( I just replace it with milk as I don't have any buttermilk in the house. So if you use milk, you need to reduce the amount because buttermilk texture is thicker as compare to ordinary milk. In my case, I just use 1/2cup of milk)
• 1 bar of baking choc ( approx. 200 gm) * The baking chocolate you need to divided into two part. Used 100gm for the cake & 100 gm for the ganache)
• 3/4 cup of heavy cream
• 1/2 tbsp of butter

So there goes..happy baking!

• 1/2 tbsp of corn syrup
