Chewy Brownie Bundt Cake.
[This morning my Better Than Crack Brownies are up for raffle for a fabulous cause over at Steph’s Bite By Bite. Head on over there to bid on my brownies! I promise to include some extra goodies too.]
Break out the stretchy pants!
I mean, seriously… break them out.
If showing you a picture of melted butter and chocolate doesn’t convince you, I don’t know what will.
I’ve never really been big on bundt cakes. In fact, I didn’t even like them on Friday. Or Saturday morning. But then my mom made a marble bundt cake on Saturday night with chocolate fudge chip frosting and I just about died and went to heaven.
Luckily I didn’t, because that allowed me to make my own bundt cake.
A brownie bundt cake.
I love eating my favorite treats in different forms. It spices things up and keeps dessert fun. I used our favorite brownie recipe, the recipe that I just converted into brownie cupcakes.
Seems I’ve been on another brownie binge!
I ended up making a recipe and a half of the brownies because I honestly was sure if one batch would be big enough for the bundt pan. Good thing I did. Who doesn’t need extra sugar, butter, chocolate and flour?
This cake is a little rich. And by a “little,” I mean there are 6 whole eggs and nearly 3 cups of sugar. Ooops! Guess that’s what happens when you almost double a brownie recipe.
Obviously I had to top it with sprinkles. Life is meaningless without sprinkles.
Just like the cupcakes, the bottom (which yes, is the top before flipping it over) is crunchy and crackly. Such amazing texture with this recipe.
And they are so oooey, gooey, chewy and rich that you only need a skinny slice.
Or a large chunk. Which ever you prefer.
I went with a large chunk. I felt it suited me better than a skinny slice.
If you are looking for a decadent, incredible dessert, I’ve got you covered. If you are looking to bust out of your favorite jeans, I’ve also got you covered. I’m a jack of all trades, folks.

I wish I had a piece of that cake right now with a big scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.
Love, love love. And do you think your mom would share her recipe too?
I love bundt cakes, meanly because I like the word bundt. Looks delicious!
It’s a really funny word.
Well you are the reason I am now needing to log on to Target and edit my wedding registry, for the sole reason of adding a bundt pan! Maybe I should add 3, just in case no one gets the point that this is a drastic necessity. Can’t wait to try them!
I am so glad you did! Honestly, I put one on my wedding registry because my mom used it often, but hadn’t used it until yesterday. I believe it’s one of those things you probably never take the time to buy yourself!
the sprinkles totally make the cake!!!
I have this adorable mini bund cake pan that has been screaming for a recipe like this! I am so excited to get to use it – they will be adorable!
oh WOW! I wish I had a piece right now! I haven’t had anything chocolate in awhile!
delightful!
Delish! I love the fun sprinkles on it too!
ah, this is sooo pretty! I need to get myself a bundt pan.
Oh holy cow- my chocolate tooth is raging right now! Can you send a piece of this to me at work right now?? Please?! I’ll do your dishes for you, so you won’t have to clean as you go. ;-)
I wish I could!
I’m still into the chicken nachos!
soooo much better than plan old brownies! this is great.
bundt cakes = my childhood memories! my mom was always making a bundt!
Yum! Brownie cake?! Brilliant :)
Brownie…in cake form?? Yes please! Looks delish!!!
Pure genius.
That looks simply mouth watering. It’s no wonder you got out your stretchy pants! I would have had a couple of slices! ;-)
I love that you’re putting sprinkles on everything lately. Your cake is adorable and it looks like it tastes like a chocolate donut. YUM!
*create shortcut* !!
That is hilarious.. haha better than crack… sounds toothsome.
Totally agree that life is meaningless without sprinkles. I have been going overboard with them lately;)This cake sounds and looks wonderful. I wish I had a slice right now for dinner;)
I love your obsession with sprinkles!
Already got my stretchy pants on so I’m good to go! Love that you added sprinkles – they make everything prettier!
I love that you topped it with sprinkles! So cute. :)
I’m a little obsessed with them. Can you tell? ;)
this looks absolutely delicious! It has made my weekend baking list! It’s probably a dumb question, but did you use bittersweet or unsweet baking chocolate? Thanks Jessica!
Semi-sweet!
I was JUST thinking that I wasn’t hungry…but my stomach is telling me otherwise.
I barely ever comment on blogs, but I just stumbled upon yours and I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy it! Your writing style is hilarious and your pictures are some of the best I’ve seen in the blog world. And of course this cake looks insanely delicious…
Thank you! This may be one of the nicest comments I’ve ever received!
Oh my gosh, this is absolutely brilliant!!!
I’m all for putting on my sweatpants and eating that cake for all meals until it’s devoured!
Not going to lie, this post made me want to bust out of my work cubicle today and buy a bundt pan. Looks good!

AH sprinkles!!! love that you put them on everything because well, sprinkles make everything better!!! (so I think I am taking one of the better than crack brownies to my show to eat afterwards!!) They are in my freezer because I made so many and I just want one SO BAD!
This looks so yummy!! Guess I have to buy a bundt cake pan :)
OMG!! Yummy……..our favorite treat to make in the bundt pan is a Rice Krispie treat “cake”….with sprinkles on it!! But we will have to try this next!! Looks amazing! :)
Never thought of that! Great idea!
We are snowed in today and I want to make this. What type of Baker’s Chocolate? Unsweetened? Semi Sweeet? So glad I found this website!
Semi-sweet! Let me know if you like it!

Do you have any idea how much I want a huge hunk of this cake, like right now?!
Made the cake today and got rave reviews from the family. My son said this is his new favorite cake. We ate it warm so the chocolate chips were still melted!
loving the sprinkles!!!

This looks so good! I’m thinking of making this for my daughter’s 2nd birthday. Hey, she’ll be 2. I’m sure she could care less that her birthday cake has a hole in it. As long as it’s yummy chocolate, she won’t mind a bit.
We can’t get Baker’s Chocolate where I live (Holland). Am I correct in thinking 1 square weighs 1 ounce? So this would be 5 ounces/142 grams?

Hey, for some reason when I put your RSS feed into google reader, it doesnt work. Can you give me the RSS URL just to make sure Im using the right one?
Looks amazing!! Planning to make this for the weekend, when we’ll be having friends over. How much sugar do you think I could successfully cut out?
Wish I could say, but am honestly not sure. Have never tried it any other way.
Well. I used 1.5 cups sugar and 1 1/4 sticks butter, and kept everything else the same. It was a nice chocolate cake, but not like brownies the way I hope it’d be (i.e. moist and chewy). I’ll have to try it again with the full amounts.
On the plus side, our guests’ kids had three slices each. That’s a compliment if I ever saw one.
Hi! This looks delish! Think I could sub unsweetened/bittersweet chocolate for the semisweet? I’m thinking it would cut some of the richness? Or not? I have no idea really. Just looking for some support. :oP Making this, um, TONIGHT, for a baby shower tomorrow because my meringue flopped and this looks pretty foolproof!
