Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup root beer
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat that Oven: Get your oven preheating to 350°F (175°C). Don’t even think about skipping this step; a properly heated oven is crucial!
- Prepare the Bundt Pan: Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan. You want that cake to slide out effortlessly. No one likes a cake that sticks!
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Make sure it’s well combined; lumps are for amateurs!
- Combine the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the root beer, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Combine these like you mean it!
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Don’t overmix; we’re not making rubber bands here!
- Pour into the Pan: Gently pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Give it a little shake to level it out and make sure it’s even.
- Bake: Pop it in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. You want a toothpick inserted into the center to come out clean. If it’s not clean, put it back in! Don’t even think about taking it out too soon.
- Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. After that, invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Patience is key, people!
- Make the Chocolate Glaze: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Glaze the Cake: Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the chocolate glaze over the top. Let it cascade down the sides like a glorious waterfall of chocolatey goodness.
