  • Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Yield: 14 servings

Ingredients

Cake Ingredients

  • 300 g white sugar
  • 250 g cake flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 160 ml sunflower oil
  • 150 ml boiling water
  • 40 g cocoa powder
  • 6 extra-large eggs, separated
  • 60 g white sugar (for egg whites)

Sauce Ingredients

  • ½ tin evaporated milk (approx. 200 ml)
  • 60 g white sugar (assumed from recipe context for sauce)

Chocolate Sauce Ingredients

  • ½ tin evaporated milk (approx. 200 ml)
  • 300 g milk chocolate, chopped

Decoration

  • Chocolate Easter eggs (quantity as desired for filling the bundt cake center)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a bundt cake pan with melted butter and dust it lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
  2. Sift Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the cake flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder to ensure even distribution and a light batter.
  3. Dissolve Cocoa: In a small jug, combine the boiling water and cocoa powder. Stir well until the cocoa powder dissolves completely. Set aside this mixture to cool.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, stir together the sunflower oil and egg yolks using a rubber spatula until combined. Add the cooled cocoa mixture and stir again to incorporate.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet: Add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet yolk and cocoa mixture. Use a rubber spatula to fold everything together until a thick, smooth batter forms.
  6. Whip Egg Whites: Place the egg whites in a clean bowl fitted with an electric mixer whisk attachment. Beat on low speed initially, then increase to medium-high until stiff peaks form. Gradually add 60 g sugar and continue beating until glossy and stiff.
  7. Fold Egg Whites into Batter: Spoon about a quarter of the whipped egg whites into the cake batter and fold gently to loosen it. Then fold in the remaining egg whites carefully to keep the batter airy and light.
  8. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a skewer into the center; it should come out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it onto a plate.
  9. Prepare Sugar Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and half of the evaporated milk. Heat slowly, stirring, until the sugar dissolves fully.
  10. Soak Cake with Sauce: Using a large skewer, poke holes all over the surface of the cake. Slowly pour the warm sugar and evaporated milk sauce over the cake to soak in, then allow the cake to cool to room temperature.
  11. Make Chocolate Sauce: In another small saucepan, add chopped milk chocolate and the remaining half of evaporated milk. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the chocolate melts into a smooth sauce.
  12. Glaze the Cake: Pour the melted chocolate sauce evenly over the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides for an attractive finish.
  13. Decorate and Serve: Fill the center hole of the bundt cake with colorful chocolate Easter eggs. Serve and enjoy the rich, moist chocolate bundt cake with its luscious sauces.
