For the Base
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk at room temperature

  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Glaze

  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Method
 

Prepare the Cake
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt cake pan with baking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. Slowly stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  7. Turn the cake out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Glaze
  1. In a medium bowl, mix the cocoa powder and melted butter together until smooth.
  2. Add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the glaze is thick but pourable. Adjust with more milk if needed.
  3. Once the cake is cool, drizzle the glaze over the top of the bundt cake.
