How to make Chocolate Cream Cheese Bundt Cake

The recipe for this Chocolate Bundt Cake is really easy. You simply need to follow the steps and it will work out nicely. First things first, it is essential to grease your bundt pan and dust with flour, to avoid any sticking. Even if your pan has a non-stick coating I still recommend greasing and dusting it with flour, just to be sure. You don’t want any surprises, do you?

After preparing the bundt pan, you can prepare the chocolate batter. For this chocolate cake it is essential to use a good quality cocoa powder. I always like to use the Dutch processed type of cocoa powder. For this cake I have also used both butter and oil, to ensure a moist cake but make sure it has a great butter flavor as well. Buttermilk also brings moisture and a great flavor. I simply love this chocolate batter, it is so easy to prepare and it never ceases to impress me.

To make this chocolate cake even more irresistible I went further and prepared a cream cheese filling that not only looks wonderful but also makes such a good pair with the chocolate cake. You can always choose to make this bundt cake simple, as is, without the filling, if adding the cream cheese seems too complicated for you though.

After everything is prepared, you can start to assemble everything into the pan. First, pour about one-third of the chocolate batter, then create a ditch with the back of the spoon, add the cream cheese filling, and gently top with the remaining chocolate batter.

Bake the bundt cake, making the toothpick test after the first 50-55 minutes. When baked, remove it from the oven and let cool slightly before topping it with chocolate ganache. I hope you will try this amazing Chocolate Cream Cheese Bundt Cake as everybody will love it. If you do, make sure to share the photos with me on Instagram. Would love to see how it turns out for you. Enjoy!
