Malted chocolate bundt cake

Ingredients

For the cake

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 1 cup malted milk powder
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk see note
  • 1 cup hot water

For the fudge glaze

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • cup heavy or whipping cream
  • ¼ cup light corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons packed dark-brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • pinch of salt
  • ½ cup of bitter or semi sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350, and grease up a bundt pan real good.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, malted milk powder, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add egg, oil, and buttermilk all together and whisk well. Add the hot water and whisk until the batter is smooth, it will be runny - that is ok. Pour into the greased bundt pan. Since this is a runnier batter, lightly tap the pan on the counter - this will bring any bubbles to the top and get rid of them.
  • Bake for 55 - 60 minutes. The cake will be pulled away from the sides, and a toothpick inserted to the center will come out clean. Let it cool completely and make the glaze.

To make the glaze

  • Combine the butter, cream, brown sugar, corn syrup, cocoa, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Simmer on low, stirring, for 3 to 5 more minutes after everything has melted, then remove from heat and stir in espresso morsels and chocolate. Stir in vanilla.

Notes

When the cake is cooled, drizzle the warm sauce over the cake.
