• 2 cups all-purpose flour

For the Ganache:

• 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• Additional chocolate chips for topping

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cake:
   • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
   • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
   • Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
   • Mix in the sour cream and hot water until well combined.
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
   • Fold in the chocolate chips.
   • Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
   • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
   • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
2. Prepare the Ganache:
   • In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
   • Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate and butter, stirring until smooth and glossy.
   • Allow the ganache to cool slightly and thicken.
3. Assemble the Cake:
   • Once the cake is completely cool, place it on a serving plate.
   • Pour the ganache evenly over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
   • Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top for decoration.

Serving: Serve this Death by Chocolate Bundt Cake at room temperature. Enjoy the rich, moist texture and intense chocolate flavor with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk for the ultimate indulgence.
