Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 1/2 cups (315g) all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (270g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) whole milk
  • For ganache glaze:
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (170g) bittersweet chocolate, chopped (60-70% cocoa)
  • 1 tablespoon (14g) butter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-12 cup Bundt pan thoroughly with butter and dust with flour.
  2. In a large bowl, beat together softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Gradually add granulated sugar, beating well. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each until fully incorporated.
  4. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Add dry ingredients to wet mixture in three parts, alternating with whole milk, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined.
  7. Fold in chocolate chips gently with a spatula.
  8. Pour batter evenly into prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and cake is golden brown.
  10. Cool cake in pan on wire rack for 15 minutes, then invert onto rack to cool completely.
  11. To make ganache glaze, heat heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until just simmering. Remove from heat and pour over chopped bittersweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Let sit 2 minutes, then stir until smooth. Stir in butter for shine.
  12. Drizzle ganache evenly over cooled cake, letting it drip down the sides.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for best texture. Do not overmix after adding flour to avoid a dense cake. Grease and flour the Bundt pan well to prevent sticking. Toss chocolate chips in a tablespoon of flour before folding in to prevent sinking. Warm cream gently for ganache to avoid scalding. Ganache can be loosened with a splash of warm cream if too thick.
