Instructions
1. Prepare the Cake
Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
Grease and flour a bundt cake pan.
In a large bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
Slowly add hot coffee (or water) and mix well. The batter will be thin.
2. Bake
Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
3. Make the Chocolate Glaze
Heat heavy cream until hot (not boiling).
Pour over chocolate chips and butter.
Stir until smooth and glossy.
Let glaze cool slightly, then pour over the cake.
4. Decorate
Add edible flowers or decorations if desired.
Let glaze set before serving.
