  • 2 cups walnuts
  • 2 cups confectioners sugar

  • 1 cup sugar

  • >>>>>>>> Chocolate Glaze Ingredients:
  • 3 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • ¾ cups heavy cream
  • 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

 Directions

Cake Recipe:
Place an oven rack in the middle portion of the oven. Pre-heat over to 350 degrees F.

Grease a bunt pan with the two tablespoons of butter and dust with the 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder.

Bring the water to a boil and pour over the chocolate in a medium bowl and whisk until all the chocolate has melted and is smooth.

Cool the mixture at room temperature.

In a separate bowl, whisk the cocoa, flour, nuts, confectioners sugar, and salt.

Beat the eggs and vanilla together in a separate bowl.

In an electric mixer with the paddle, beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and butter at high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Turn to low speed and add the egg mixture just until combined, about 30 seconds.

Add the chocolate mixture and beat until incorporated, then add the flour mixture just until combined. Do not over mix.

Using a spatula, pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the batter, and bake until the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 45 minutes.

Cool on a wire rack for 90 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate and let cool for 2 hours.



Glaze Recipe:
In a small saucepan over medium high heat, add the cream, corn syrup, and chocolate. Cook, stirring constantly until smooth and creamy.

Add the vanilla and stir. Set aside until slightly thickening for 30 minutes.

Drizzle the glaze all over the cake and let it rest for 15 minutes.
