Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar

- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk

- 2–3 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a Bundt pan thoroughly.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat granulated sugar, brown sugar, and softened butter until fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared Bundt pan and spread evenly. Tap gently on the counter to release air bubbles.
