Instructions
To make the cake
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and generously grease a bundt pan with non stick cooking spray and flour.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, and sugar together until well combined. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, sour cream, melted butter, oil, and vanilla extract.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet chocolate mixture and whisk together just until combined. You could also use an electric hand mixer but a whisk works too.
- Slowly stream in the hot water and mix until smooth and evenly incorporated into the cake batter. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan and place in the center rack in the oven, bake for 45-55 minutes or toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan, set on a wire rack, for 10 minutes. Then flip the cake onto the cooling rack and cool completely.
To make the chocolate ganache
- Add the heavy cream to a microwave safe bowl and heat for 2 minutes or until hot.
- Add the chocolate chips the the heavy cream and let sit for 5 minutes to warm and get soft. You could also do this on the stove in a small saucepan.
- Whisk together until creamy and smooth. Pour or drizzle the ganache all over the cake, then top with more chocolate chips (optional). Let set for a few minutes, then slice, and enjoy!
