Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC) and position the rack in the center of the oven.
  2. Lightly brush a 12-cup nonstick Bundt pan with 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
  3. Dust the pan generously with 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder, tilting and tapping to coat all crevices, then tap out any excess.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, remaining cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. In a separate medium bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk, hot coffee, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
  7. Mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes, or until the batter is smooth and well combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan.
  9. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the cake pulls away from the sides of the pan and the top springs back lightly when touched.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before inverting onto the rack to cool completely.
