Chocolate Sour Cream Bundt Cake is made with cocoa, chocolate chips, basic cake ingredients and sour cream for a moist chocolate treat.
A simple chocolate Bundt cake is a classic, must-have recipe to keep around for all occasions from birthday parties, Mother’s Day, Easter, pot lucks, random chocolate cravings…. the list goes on. This Chocolate Sour Cream Bundt Cake is really simple and a real crowd pleaser. You can even add a chocolate ganache topping or fold in some more chocolate chips to the batter before baking to switch things up a bit.
This recipe is pretty straightforward. You will need a few mixing bowls out so there are more dirty dishes than I would like but it is well worth it. My only tip is to use a silicone Bundt Cake pan. I just recently switched to using a silicone pan for recipes like this one and it makes life so much easier!
