Ingredients
  

For the bundt cake:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3 cups flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup cocoa
  • ½ cup oil
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

For the Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar

For the glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Supplies and Equipment Needed:

  • Bundt pan
  • Non-stick spray
  • Flour for dusting the pan
  • Stand mixer
  • Baking sheet
  • Toothpick
  • Plate or serving platter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare the bundt pan by spraying it with non-stick spray and then dusting it with a light layer of flour. Tap out the excess flour and set it aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the butter and sugar. Cream until smooth.
  • Add in the cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix until smooth.
  • Add in the eggs, milk, vanilla, and oil. Combine well, stopping the mixer, scraping the sides, and mixing again.
  • Finally, add in all of the flour and mix thoroughly. Pour about half of the chocolate batter into your prepared pan, reserving the rest for later. Set aside.
  • To make the filling, in the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the softened cream cheese, egg, and powdered sugar. Cream until smooth. Pour this mixture over the chocolate batter in the pan and spread evenly.
  • Top with the remaining chocolate batter and spread it evenly.
  • Place the bundt pan on a larger baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before trying to remove it from the pan. When ready, invert the cake onto a plate or serving platter. If needed, use a butter knife to gently loosen the cake from the sides of the pan to release it.
  • When ready to serve, make the glaze. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the powdered sugar, softened cream cheese, and milk. Blend until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the bundt cake and slice.
