Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 8 ounces German chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded coconut (optional)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
  • Chocolate ganache (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 10-inch bundt pan or loaf pan by greasing it with butter or non-stick spray and dusting with flour.
  2. Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk.
  5. Fold in the chopped German chocolate until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use high-quality butter and chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Optional add-ons like nuts and coconut can enhance the texture and flavor.
  • Check for doneness at the 60-minute mark to avoid overbaking.
