• Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan or loaf pan to prevent sticking.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients

  In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Slowly add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.

  • Add Eggs One at a Time

  Beat in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully combined before adding the next. Scrape down the bowl as needed.

  • Incorporate Flavorings

  Mix in the vanilla extract and melted chocolate until the batter is smooth and uniform.

• Cream Butter, Cream Cheese, and Sugar

Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Gradually add sugar and continue mixing until fully incorporated.

• Pour and Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

• Cool and Serve

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve plain or with your choice of toppings, such as whipped cream or chocolate sauce.
