Ingredients 

Cake (9 x 5-inch loaf pan)

Chocolate glaze (optional)

  • 1 cup (120 g) Powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup (20 g) Cocoa powder
  • 2 - 4 tbsp Milk or cream
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9 x 4 x 4-inch loaf pan or a 10-cup Bundt pan. You can also spray it with non-stick baking spray to ensure easy release.
  • Wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. This helps create a light texture in the cake. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
    1 cup Butter, 1½ cup Sugar , 4 large Eggs, 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to the milk. Mix at low speed until combined after each addition, being careful not to overmix.
    1 ¾ cup All purpose flour, ½ cup Cocoa powder , 1 tsp Baking powder, ¾ tsp Salt, ½ cup Milk
  • Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cover the top loosely with aluminum foil if it begins to brown too quickly.
  • Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
    4 large Eggs, 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • Prepare the Cocoa Sugar Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add more milk, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
    1 cup Powdered sugar, ¼ cup Cocoa powder, 2 - 4 tbsp Milk, 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • Glaze the Cake: Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the cocoa sugar glaze over the top, allowing it to run down the sides for a decorative effect. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving.
