1️⃣ Prepare the Cake Batter
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan thoroughly.
In a saucepan:
Melt butter with water.
Whisk in cocoa powder until smooth.
Bring just to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat.
In a large bowl:
Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
Pour in the warm chocolate mixture and stir.
Add eggs, sour cream, and vanilla.
Mix until smooth.
2️⃣ Bake the Cake
Pour batter into the prepared Bundt pan.
Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool for about 10–15 minutes, then carefully remove it from the pan and cool completely.
3️⃣ Make the Frosting
In a saucepan:
Melt butter.
Stir in cocoa powder and milk.
Bring to a gentle simmer.
Remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.
Stir in pecans if desired.
4️⃣ Frost and Serve
Pour the warm chocolate frosting over the cooled Bundt cake, letting it drip beautifully down the sides. 🍫✨
