After searching eatyourbooks for a Chocolate Bundt cake, I discovered that not one of my cookbooks contained a recipe that appealed to me.
This recipe at Food52 sounded wonderful - even if the reviews on the site made a big deal about the fact that this same recipe is called an original by many different authors and sources.
The recipe calls for buttermilk (which was a bonus as I had an open container in the fridge) and Dutch process cocoa. The batter is very thin and I was glad that other reviews mentioned this fact. I forgot to set the timer when I put the cake in the oven so I had to babysit it and check it every so often.
I tried to dislodge the cake from the pan while still warm but it didn't budge. I tried again after it was fully cooled and still had no luck. Thankfully, when I cut the cake in the pan itself it came out in lovely, moist pieces that stayed together.
In a word, this cake is delicious. Eric was very happy to have it to celebrate his 12th birthday. Everyone agreed that the cake was wonderful and we'll definitely have it again. I'd try to grease the pan more heavily next time but this cake is well worth it even if it means it stays in the pan.
