Double Chocolate Espresso Bundt Cake with Caramel Glaze
Sinful and rich Double Chocolate Espresso Bundt Cake with coffee, chocolate chips, and a caramel glaze makes a stunning cake to serve your guests.
Mixers beating at full speed. Mess of flour everywhere. Ovens on full blast. Dishes piled high.
Once November rolls around, that’s pretty much the scene in every kitchen. Holiday baking has begun!
This time of the year can be stressful for most, including myself. When time is limited and company is coming over, you don’t have time to deal with mishaps.
How many of you ruined a cake because it stuck to the pan? Notice me raising both hands and a foot?
I avoided bundt cakes because they stuck most of the time. Until now.
When I was asked to use PAM Cooking Spray in the kitchen, I knew I’d be testing it out with this Double Chocolate Espresso Bundt Cake with Caramel Glaze.
Why? Because I made this once before, just to have it rip in half when unmolding.
I don’t think it helped that my pan was 10 years old either. So with a new pan and PAM Cooking Spray in hand, I was ready to unmold the perfect bundt cake.
I love bundt cakes for their simplicity.
The shape of the pan, whether simple or fancy, makes it ready for serving almost instantly.
No need to bake three layers of cake and beat several sticks of butter for frosting, just to prove you have the frosting skills of a three-year-old.
Just dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with Bundt cake glaze before serving.
The last thing you need is for all your hard work to stick. Trust me – I’ve cried over my fair share of ruined cakes.
The idea behind this Double Chocolate Espresso Bundt Cake recipe is to make a quick and simple cake to serve with coffee (or tea), whether it’s the end of a holiday meal or a quick get together in the evening.
I started with the idea of espresso because everybody needs extra energy during the holiday. What pairs well with espresso? Chocolate and caramel.
Did you know using coffee in the batter enhances the chocolate? That’s why I paired it with a chocolate cake then drizzled caramel glaze on top.
If you are not a coffee lover, just substitute plain boiling water.
Looking for a smaller cake? Check out my small Bundt cake recipe.
So go ahead. Grab some coffee and a spoon. I’ll be there to join you shortly since I won’t need to throw a tantrum in the kitchen, now that my bundt cakes won’t stick anymore.

Double Chocolate Espresso Bundt Cake with Caramel Glaze
Sinful and rich chocolate cake with espresso and chocolate chips topped with a caramel glaze makes a stunning cake to serve your guests with coffee.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon pieces
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa powder*
- 1 tablespoon espresso powder dissolved into 3/4 cup boiling water
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Glaze
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream or milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 10-12 cup bundt cake pan with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter. Once completely melted, whisk in the sour cream until smooth. Whisk in the cocoa powder and espresso then whisk in the sugar and vanilla until smooth.
- In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add a little bit of the hot batter to temper the eggs then add it back into the saucepan. Gradually whisk in the flour mixture then stir in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake 40-45 minutes until the cake is firm, slightly pulled away from the sides of the pan, and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 20 minutes then invert it onto a large plate to cool completely.
- For the glaze: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar and cream/milk until smooth. Boil for 1 minute then remove from the heat. Whisk in the vanilla and powdered sugar until smooth and thick. Pour over cooled cake and let sit for a few minutes or until the glaze hardens.
Notes
*It is highly recommended to use Dutch process cocoa. However, if you do substitute standard cocoa powder, increase baking soda to 1 1/2 teaspoons.

Get organized and wash and clear as you go.
shop early and keep a well-stocked pantry with baking staples and a few basic cooking staples. and keep a good supply of cookbooks.
Get help when you need it, either from a family member, take-out, or a kit or other pre-made items.
Make sure your spice cabinet is stocked! Then there’s no last minute running around to pick up spices you’re out of!
I use Pam’s baking spray and find it works quite well. (Although I haven’t tried it on a bundt pan because I don’t have a bundt pan.) Also, you said the three magic words: chocolate, espresso, and caramel. Yum! (Funny enough, I have a post coming up on Wednesday involving chocolate and espresso.)
HAVE SOMEONE ELSE COOK FOR ME
Gotta have Pam during the holidays. My beaters are at a constant whir. This cake looks amazing!
It sounds really silly and simple, but I save time by taking out all of the ingredients that I’ll need for a recipe as soon as I start preheating the oven. Then, after I use them, I put them immediately back in the cabinet. It helps cut down on clean up time, and it also lets me know if I forgot anything – the left out ingredient will be sitting on the counter when I’m “done”! :)
I save time in the kitchen by preparing dishes in large batches, freezing, then having lots available for later just to heat up!
I have three little sisters and get them to help out during the holidays! They don’t bake often, but they can help save a lot of time by mixing or adding ingredients while you do other things!
I save time by using parchment paper. No need to wash in between baking cycles :)
I use parchment paper and it makes clean up much easier!
Read your recipe through – don’t just glance. That way you’ll be sure not to miss anything!
There is no better way to save time in the kitchen than to have easy access to all your cooking tools and ingredients.The less time you spend on getting organized,the more time and energy you will have on developing your own cooking style.
My tip is to cook large portions and freeze for later to save time

I like to prep my veggies on Sunday so during the week I can eliminate all the time it takes to chop, peel, etc. I find I’m much more likely to cook and eat healthy when I do this.

My tip is to pick easy recipes or recipes you’re familiar with so that your time in the kitchen is quicker
chocolatey choco goodness, how do I love thee? let me count the wayyyss
and I save time in the kitchen by having some prep’d stuff already just hanging out for when I need it (ie pizza dough, puff pastry, etc)
Lovely cake Carla. Love the espresso in it. You are right about needing a coffee burst of energy in the busy holiday season.
I’ve been blessed in the kitchen since none of my bundt cakes have ever stuck to the pan. I probably shouldn’t even say those words out loud (or write them) – I bet it’ll stick the next time I make them since the universe loves messing with me! This cake looks scrumptious. It’s exactly the type of cake I’d happily snack on every day until it’s all gone. And your photos look beautiful.
My time saving tip is prepare, prepare, prepare – get everything ready ahead of time (and always Pam your Bundt pans!)
I posted a tweet too: https://twitter.com/AnnaZed/status/407685106879307776
I prep as much as I can in advance so when I get home from work I can quickly get dinner together for my family.
Twitter post https://twitter.com/happyschmoopies/status/407687918782644226
I like to plan ahead uses for leftovers, so that I get double for my time.
I rinse & re-use my mixing utensils, and if I’m measuring something sticky (molasses, honey) then I use a measuring cup that has already been used for oil or yogurt, so the sticky stuff comes out of the cup more easily (and quickly).
I also use my 15 minutes of baking time for muffins to clear up all the dishes.
I do all the prep for multiple dishes then cook at once
I always use Pam or parchment paper when baking something because it makes clean up a breeze!
My tip is to set out butter and eggs the night before or in the morning before work to let them come to room temperature so they’re ready to go when I’m ready to bake!
My advice is to start collecting gadgets! I have a nut chopper, garlic press, food processor and the ever-glorious Kitchen-Aid. Lord almighty, these little beasts are PHENOMENAL in easing all kitchen ventures. To apply this to real world examples 1) Pie crust in the food processor. GOSH, I can’t believe I ever spent so much time and effort cutting frozen butter into the flour. With a food processor it literally takes 5 mins to throw an entire homemade crust together. and 2) Fresh Whipped Cream in the Kitchen-Aid. While your pulling the pie or crisp out of the oven, just throw some cream in the bowl, turn it on medium and let it hang out until it’s light and fluffy and just needs a little powdered sugar sprinkled in it. Fresh and spectacular every time!
I make the simplest meals possible so nothing can go wrong (99% of the time) and so I spend the shortest amount of time in there.
Make stuff ahead of time and in bulk. And always accept help when needed
My best time-saver during the holidays is to stay organized and make just 1 trip a week to the grocery store. You’d be surprised how much time you lose when you have to make a last-minute trip out to grab some more cinnamon or milk!
prepare as much as you can a day ahead of time so you are not overwhelmed

Super simple. Clean as you go.
Plan as much as I can ahead of time.
Yesterday, as I was crushing graham crackers with the rolling pin in a Ziploc bag, I asked my daughter, “Why couldn’t we pour the melted butter right into the bag with the crumbs and sort of knead it by hand to mix it?” It worked like a charm and saved washing a bowl. Always a good thing.
My tip is to make a large quantity so you can freeze meals.

Wash dishes as you go.
Chop up vegetables on the weekend and put them in baggies so that you have ready-made ingredients to throw together for a quick meal in the middle of the week.
My tip is stock up on necessities prior to baking time shopping sales. roddjackson at hotmail dot com
For me to save time in the kitchen, I get everything ready and set out ahead of tune and then make sure I will be uninterrupted-put a movie on for the munchkin or wait until he’s in bed. Doing that saves me SO much time because I’m not running back and forth between the kitchen and the rest of the house!

My tip for saving time is soak dishes to make clean up easier.
Chop up your veggies and save extra for soups and stews in the future!
My tip is to not wait till the last minute and cook extras. whether you make extra dinner and freeze it for another night. When we cook our neighbor and friend gifts we do cookies and I have my mom and sister help and we make a ton and freeze it to finish it another day. Then all we have to do is bake the next time.

I save time by mixing up all the dry ingredients for several different types of Christmas cookies and then putting them in zippy bags or covered bowls and then when I have time I mix up the rest and either bake them right away or roll them into logs and chill to continue baking on another day.
My tip to save time over the holidays is make cookies in advance and then freeze them, I also tend to do that with scones, fruit pies and pound cakes as well! I also admit sometimes when I am short on time to using ready made frosting.

I pull together everything needed for the recipe and immed. put it away when I’ve used it. Also, I fill the sink with hot, soapy water and put in the used cups or spatulas, etc., they’re practically clean and ready to be used again.

My best time-saving tip in the kitchen is to do all my chopping and slicing at once. I prep my ingredients for multiple meals all in one day, and either refrigerate or freeze them. Then, when I am ready to cook, I oftentimes only have to heat up my skillet or get a pot of boiling water started to be on my way to a delicious breakfast or dinner.
We have so many Christmas baking traditions- decorated sugar cookies, wreathes made from cornflakes, Chex Mix, etc. :) My best tips are to make double batches and freeze!

I find the easiest way to save time during this busy holiday is to clean as you go!! Nothing deflates a soufflé quicker than plating, then turning around to face a mountain of dirty bowls, spoons, measuring cups and beaters. Even the lowliest of tasks is a part of that big beautiful pictures. Blessings to all this Christmas!!

Collecting all the ingredients for the recipe before I begin baking or cooking.
I preread a reciepe to make sure I have everything and have a sense of what the next step will be
make large amounts of dishes so you can have leftovers and save yourself the time of cooking the next day
Have all the equipment and iingredients you need for a recipe on the counter so that they are ready to use and you aren’t searching through your cabinets at the last minute, wasting time and delaying the food preparation.
To save time in the kitchen I use the appliances that help me get things done quick.
Prep ahead of time is my favorite tip.
I set all the supplies out
Do as much prep work ahead of time as possible.
Don’t try making anything that you haven’t before. Do all the prepping of vegetables etc prior to cooking. Keep organized by cleaning as you go.
For our family get together I made several things the night before. It saved so much time!
I save time in the kitchen by making casseroles on the weekend. This way I can heat them out throughout the week and just add a salad and rolls. This gives me so much more time to spend with family the rest of the week.
I don’t have a great kitchen tip…but since I don’t have a dish washer it is important for me to keep up on my dishes to ensure my small kitchen stays clean.
Make sure you have ALL the ingredients BEFORE you start. (Yep, I’m that girl who gets half way in and ooops, not enough ______)
To save time I plan ahead and make sure I have everything before I start baking or cooking. Thank for this awesome sweep and have a Happy New Year :)
I do all of the prep work first!

I chop up jalepenoes in the food processor and freeze them in ice cube trays and freeze them. Then I pop them out and put in a bag to store. They are great to pop in chili and other mexican dishes.
Do as much beforehand that you can.
Thanks for the contest.

I definitely prep ahead of time with pre-chopping and cooking dishes I can in advance.
Make sure everything is ready before starting to bake. Not fun when you realize half way through that you are missing an ingredient.
I try to make up as much as I can ahead of time
