Glazed Bourbon Chocolate Bundt Cake Recipes

CHOCOLATE BOURBON CAKE

Steps:

• Head on over to Epicurious for instructions. (Use the teaspoon of instant espresso powder and the 1 ½ cups of water instead of coffee).
• Add cream, butter, espresso powder, vanilla and salt into a saucepan, bring to a boil and stir until you have a uniform consistency.
• Take off the heat and add the Bourbon.
• Pour the hot cream mix over the chocolate and let sit for 1 minute.
• Stir together until everything is well combined and no chocolate clumps remain. (You may need to heat the mixture over a pot of hot water to get rid of the last pieces of chocolate).
• Pour over the cake and let set.
• Serve with whipped cream and/or raspberry jam.

GLAZED BOURBON-CHOCOLATE BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Butter and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan.
• In a saucepan, melt the butter and 4 oz of the chocolate over low heat, stirring with a whisk.
• Add the cocoa and stir until smooth; let cool.
• In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the eggs and sugar on medium speed until lightened.
• On low speed, stir in the sour cream, bourbon, 2 tsp of vanilla, and the chocolate mixture.
• Stir in the dry ingredients just until combined.
• Scrape the batter into the prepared pan.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 40-45 minutes.
• Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 15 minutes.
• Unmold the cake onto the rack and let cool completely.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze: in a saucepan, warm the cream over low heat.
• Add the remaining 4 oz chocolate and the corn syrup and whisk until the chocolate is melted and the glaze is smooth.
• Let cool to room temperature, then stir in the remaining 1 tsp vanilla.
• Place the wire rack with the cake over a sheet of parchment paper or foil and pour the glaze over the top of the cake, letting it run down the sides.
• Slide the cake onto a platter and serve.
