This Coca Cola chocolate Bundt cake is rich, moist, and full of deep cocoa flavor. Finished with a smooth chocolate glaze, this easy chocolate Bundt cake recipe makes 8 generous slices and is perfect for any occasion.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the 5 eggs, ½ cup (120 g) caster sugar, and ½ cup (120 g) brown sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Add the ½ cup (120 g) melted unsalted butter and ¾ cup (200 ml) milk, then beat again until everything is well combined.
Sift in the 1 cup (80 g) cocoa powder and mix until fully incorporated. Sift together the 2½ cups (320 g) self-raising flour and 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda, then add them to the bowl and mix gently.
Pour in the 1 cup (250 ml) Coca Cola and mix until the batter is smooth and evenly combined.
Grease and flour a Bundt cake mold well, pour the chocolate Bundt cake batter into the prepared pan, and smooth the top.
Bake in a preheated oven at 355°F / 180°C (320°F /160°C fan) for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes o convection out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack and leave it to cool completely.
To make the frosting, melt the 4.2 oz (120 g) dark chocolate and ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream together in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler, stirring until smooth.
Pour the chocolate frosting into a jug, then drizzle it over the cooled Coca-Cola Chocolate Bundt cake.
Let the frosting set before slicing and serving.
Notes
Sift the Dry Ingredients: I like to sift the cocoa powder and flour so the batter mixes evenly and the cake stays soft and smooth.Add the Coca Cola Slowly: Pour the Coca Cola gradually while mixing so the batter stays smooth and the carbonation blends evenly.Prepare the Bundt Pan Well: I always grease and flour every part of the pan so the cake releases cleanly and keeps its shape.Cool Before Glazing: Let the cake cool completely before pouring the chocolate frosting so the glaze stays glossy and sets nicely.
