Fudgy Coffee Bundt Cake with Date Caramel
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour your bundt pan to ensure the cake releases easily after baking.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.
- Gradually mix in the cooled coffee and melted chocolate until the mixture is smooth.
- Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet, stirring gently until just combined. Don’t overmix!
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let the cake rest in the pan for 15 minutes.
- Invert the bundt cake onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, drizzle the date caramel over the top and sprinkle with sea salt if desired before serving.

Notes
Feel free to experiment with different toppings; nuts or a dollop of whipped cream can elevate this dessert.
Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To enjoy it again, simply warm slices in the microwave for a few seconds. Happy baking!
