Main Ingredients

  • 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoons baking soda
  • 0.25 cups cocoa powder preferably Hershey’s Special Dark
  • 0.5 cups dry hot chocolate mix
  • 1 cups butter room temperature
  • 8 ounces cream cheese 1 block
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 ounces milk chocolate melted

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Spray a 10-inch bundt pan liberally with baking spray.
  • Sift together the flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, and dry hot chocolate mix. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream together the butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Melt 3 ounces of milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% power in 30-second increments, stirring after each. Add melted chocolate to the butter mixture and mix until incorporated.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
  • Slowly add the sifted dry ingredients to the batter while mixing on low speed. Mix just until combined, do not overmix.
  • Pour batter into prepared bundt pan and bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • To make the glaze, melt 6 ounces of milk chocolate, 2 tablespoons dry hot chocolate mix, 0.25 cups heavy cream, and 1 tablespoon butter together in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth.
  • Remove glaze from heat and let it sit for 10 minutes to thicken slightly.
  • Pour the glaze over the cooled bundt cake and garnish with mini marshmallows or marshmallow bits.

Notes

This cake is perfect for winter gatherings and pairs wonderfully with a cup of hot cocoa.
