Attention chocolate lovers! I have a cake recipe for you. How does five, yes, five types of chocolate sound? It’s rich, indulgent, and incredibly chocolate-y. Warning: It will call out your name at all hours of the day and night. Calls it, whispers it, and doesn’t stop. You might get a little distracted and find yourself in the kitchen cutting a slice. It happened to me a few times. The sour cream chocolate bundt cake is like chocolate heaven for me.

This is a moist and dense cake. There is nothing fluffy about it. Sour cream makes it moist. Brushing it with a chocolate liqueur glaze while it is hot out of the oven makes it moister. Oh yea. I dust it with confectioners sugar right before serving. Otherwise it is so moist the sugar will melt. Did I mention it is rich? You could serve it with whipped cream or ice cream. I don’t need either one because I thoroughly enjoy the chocolate experience. (See my Chocolate Layer Cake).

February #BundAMonth is celebrating chocolate. I could not be happier. It gave me the excuse to bake this sour cream chocolate bundt cake again. I have baked it at least three or four times before for family and friends. I use the same bundt pan because I love the way the white confectioner’s sugar really brings out the pattern on the dark cake. I am also happy because I get to discover more chocolate cake recipes. Chocolate paradise! Just look at these fabulous ones:
