Double Chocolate Bourbon Bundt Cake with Vanilla Bourbon Glaze

Double Chocolate Bourbon Bundt Cake

1/2 cup            Four Roses Small Batch

2 cups             All-purpose flour 

2/3 cup            Cocoa powder (sifted) 

1 tsp                Baking powder 

1 tsp                Baking soda 

1/2 tsp             Salt 

4                      Eggs

1 1/2 cups       Brown sugar 

1 cup               Canola oil 

1/2 cup            Water

2 tsp                Pure vanilla extract

1 cup melted   Semi-sweet chocolate chips (slightly cooled) 

1/2 cup            Semi-sweet chocolate chips 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Generously grease a Bundt pan. In a medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In large bowl, whisk eggs until pale yellow color. Whisk in brown sugar. Stir in oil, water, Bourbon, and vanilla. 

Add flour mixture to wet mixture, stir until well combined. Fold in melted chocolate until fully incorporated, stir in chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared pan. Place Bundt pan on baking sheet, bake for 45-50 minutes.

Let cool in pan for 30 to 45 minutes. Run a thin sharp knife around edge of cake to loosen. Place on serving platter and top with vanilla bourbon glaze, dust with powdered sugar, and enjoy! 

Vanilla Bourbon Glaze

2 tbsp              Four Roses Small Batch

3 tbsp              Softened unsalted butter 

2 cups             Powdered sugar 

3/4 cup            Heavy whipping cream

1/2 tsp             Vanilla 

In medium bowl, mix butter, powdered sugar, and heavy whipping cream, until smooth. Add in Bourbon and vanilla. You may need a little more whipping cream, if too thick, more powdered sugar if too thin. It’s an easy fix. It should be smooth, and easy to pour. 

When cake is cooled, pour glaze in a back-and-forth motion all around cake. Let sit at least 45 minutes to set. Dust with powdered sugar, and garnish with mint, if desired.
