Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter Always a must for moistness.
- 1 cup water Creates that luscious batter.
- 2 large eggs For binding and moisture.

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your Bundt pan thoroughly with butter or a non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter with water over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Remove from the heat.
- Gradually pour the hot butter-water mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until well combined.
- Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until the batter becomes smooth and glossy.
- Gently pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, making sure it’s evenly distributed.
Baking
- Place the Bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Making the Glaze
- In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and milk. Whisk until smooth and adjust with a bit more milk if necessary for the desired consistency.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled Bundt cake, letting it cascade deliciously over the edges.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, consider using melted coconut oil or a dairy-free butter substitute. Watch the baking time as ovens can vary, and ensure your Bundt pan is well-greased.
