Total time: 1 hour 10 mins

Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

• 3/4 cup brown sugar

• 2 large eggs, room temperature

• 2 teaspoons. vanilla extract

• 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

• 1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/2 tsp. baking soda

• 3/4 tsp. salt

• 1 cup Greek yogurt (I used sour cream)

• 1 1/4 cups mini semi sweet chocolate chips

• FOR THE TOPPING:

• four ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

• 2 tablespoons light corn syrup (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. In the bowl of a stand mixer of a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugars together on medium speed until well combined and fluffy, about two minutes.

3. Scrape the sides of the bowl and add the eggs and vanilla, and continue to beat.

4. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.

5. Add half of the dry ingredients into the butter mixture and beat on low until combined.

6. Add the Greek yogurt (or sour cream) and beat to combine.

7. Add the remaining half of dry ingredients and stir just until combined.

8. Fold in the chocolate chips.

9. Do not overmix.

10. Spray a small, 10 cup bundt pan with a baking spray with flour or use a light spray of baking spray and dust the inside of the pan with flour. (I smeared butter inside, then sprayed with a cooking spray, then dusted with flour.)

11. Spoon the batter evenly into the pan and smooth the top of the batter. It will be thick.

12. Bake in a preheated oven for about 55-60 minutes or until the top of the cake is set, with no jiggling.

13. Allow to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes, then invert the cake onto a cooling rack or serving platter until completely cool.

14. When ready to ice, add the chocolate to a small bowl and heat the cream until almost bubbling.

15. Add the warmed cream to the chocolate, cover the bowl with a piece of plastic wrap, and allow to sit undisturbed for five minutes.

16. Stir to combine and add in the corn syrup, if desired.

17. Pour over the cake.
