Ingredients
Scale
- For the Cake:
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup olive oil (or your preferred oil)
- ½ cup sourdough discard
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- ⅔ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup milk (any variety)
- ½ cup hot, strong brewed coffee
- For the Ganache:
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 7 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (or a mix)
- Optional: Mini chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-cup bundt pan with butter and lightly dust it with flour. Set aside.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
- Combine Wet Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, olive oil, sourdough discard, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and milk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined.
- Incorporate the Coffee:
- Pour the hot brewed coffee into the batter and gently fold until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Bake the Cake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few dry crumbs.
- Cool the Cake:
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, until the edges start pulling away from the pan. Carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack and let it cool until warm.
- Prepare the Ganache:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Decorate and Serve:
- Drizzle the ganache over the warm cake. If desired, sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top for an extra touch. Serve and enjoy!
