This indulgent chocolate Bundt cake is filled with a creamy raspberry center and finished with a glossy chocolate glaze—perfect for holidays, birthdays, or any special occasion.
Prepare a Bundt cake pan by spraying generously with baking spray.
Combine flour, cocoa powder, sugar, cornstarch, baking powder and baking soda in the bowl of a stand mixer. If mixing by hand or with a hand mixer, combine ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
¾ Cup Cocoa Powder, 2 Cups All Purpose Flour, 2 Cups Granulated Sugar, 2 Tablespoons Corn Starch, 2 teaspoons Baking Powder, ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
Add oil and eggs to bowl. Mix until well combined.
¾ Cup Vegetable or Canola Oil, 4 Large Eggs
Slowly pour the brewed coffee into the bowl while mixing continuously. Remember to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. The batter should become smooth and well combined.
1 ¼ Cup Brewed Coffee
Bake for 50 - 60 minutes (toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean).
Place cake on a cooling rack for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, invert cake onto the cooling rack and allow to cool for at least an hour.
Chocolate Glaze
Place chocolate, butter, corn syrup and water in a heat-proof bowl.
Heat in the microwave in 30-second bursts at 50% power, stirring well between each. Alternatively, melt the ingredients by placing the bowl over a pot of simmering water—making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water—and stir frequently until smooth.
Set the chocolate glaze aside until it cools just slightly (approximately 10 minutes).
Whipped Cream Filling
Whip heavy cream and powdered sugar until medium peaks form.
1 Cup heavy cream, 2 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar
Place whipped cream in a pastry bag and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Assemble Cake
Using a serrated knife, slice off the top half of Bundt cake. Carefully remove the top and set aside (note: this should only be done after the cake has completely cooled or it will be too soft to handle).
Cut two concentric circles about 1 inch deep into the center of the bottom of the Bundt cake - be careful not to cut all the way through to the bottom.
Using a spoon, dig out a tunnel of cake between the two circles you just cut. Discard the scrapes.
Add a layer of raspberries into the tunnel. Pipe or spoon whipped cream over the raspberries. Add more raspberries over the cream.
1 pint fresh raspberries
Replace top half of the cake over the bottom half.
Place cake on a cooling rack. Pour glaze icing over cake. Allow the glaze to set up for about an hour. Once set, move cake to a serving plate. Store cake in refrigerator until ready to serve.
