Instructions
 

  • Prepare a 9" or 10" Bundt pan by generously spraying the inside with non-stick baking spray or melted butter. Lightly dust with flour.

Filling

  • Combine brown sugar, espresso powder and chocolate chips in a bowl. Set aside.

Cake Batter

  • Preheat oven to 325°.
  • Combine eggs, yolks and sour cream in a small bowl and mix to combine.
  • Add sugar, flour, baking powder and baking soda in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Combine ingredients. Note: a hand mixer may also be used.
  • Add softened butter and mix on low speed for 3 minutes.
  • Add half of the egg/sour cream mixture to the mixing bowl and combine on low speed for one minute. Scrap sides of bowl.
  • Add remaining egg/sour cream mixture to the mixing bowl and combine on low speed for one minute. Scrape sides of bowl and mix on low speed for another minute.
  • Add ½ of the cake batter to the prepared pan and smooth with a rubber spatula.
  • Scatter the chocolate/espresso/brown sugar mixture on top of the batter in the Bundt pan. Add the remaining batter and smooth with a rubber spatula.
  • Bake for 50 minutes at 325° or until top is quite brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove pan from oven and cool upright for 10 minutes.
  • Flip pan upside down onto a cooling rack and let cool completely. Remove pan - cake should release from pan on its own. If not, use blunt knife and gently loosen sides.
