Preparation

Cake Preparation

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, beat the eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

4. Combine Mixtures

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Stir in the boiling water until smooth; the batter will be thin.

5. Bake the Cake

Pour half of the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Place the dark chocolate truffles evenly spaced on top of the batter, then pour the remaining batter over the truffles.

6. Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake (not touching the truffles) comes out clean.

7. Cool the Cake

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving

8. Slice and Serve

Slice the cake and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top. Drizzle with chocolate and caramel sauce to taste.
