RECIPE FOR CAKE:
3 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup brown sugar packed
1 cup white sugar
1 cup butter room temp
4 eggs
2 Tbsp oil
1 cup buttermilk can substitute by using 1 cup milk - take out 1 tablespoon of the milk and replace
with 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice and let set for five minutes.
2 tsps vanilla
1 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips almost 1 bag of chocolate chips roughly chopped
Milk Chocolate Glaze:
12 oz milk chocolate chips 1 bag
6 oz heavy cream sometimes called whipping cream
Instructions
For the cake:
Grease and flour a bundt pan.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Add the chocolate chips into a food processor and chop them up a bit, or add them to a large zip lock
bag and break them up with a mallet or rolling pin.
Add a couple tablespoons of flour to the chips and shake to coat them.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and sugars. Set aside.
In another bowl, mix together the eggs, oil, milk and vanilla. Set aside.
Using a mixer, slowly add in the butter to the dry mixture. Add in small chunks of butter at a time
and mix on medium until the flour mixture is crumbly in texture.
Add in half of the liquid mixture and mix on medium only until combined.
Add in the last half of the liquid mixture and mix on medium until incorporated. Be careful not to
mix too long. You should only be mixing about 20-30 seconds maximum here.
Fold in the chopped, flour coated milk chocolate chips.
Pour into greased and floured bundt pan and bake at 325 degrees for 60-65 minutes.
Let cool on a wire rack for about 20 minutes, then turn out onto rack or cake plate to cool
completely before adding glaze.
For the glaze:
Weigh out 12 oz (approximately 1 bag of milk chocolate chips) and add to a bowl.
Heat 6 oz of heavy cream (whipping cream) until almost boiling.
Pour over the milk chocolate chips and let it sit for a couple minutes.
Stir until smooth.
If there are still chunks of chocolate, pop it in the microwave for about 20 seconds and stir again
until smooth.
Leave the glaze to cool and thicken up a bit. (You don't need to set it in the fridge.) Just leave it
out on your counter to cool down and thicken for at least 20 minutes. Leaving it out to sit longer is
totally fine, but if it gets too thick to pour over your cake, just pop it in the microwave and heat at
10 second intervals, stirring in between.
Drizzle onto cake.
