Directions
Prepare Oven and Pan:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Grease the Bundt pan with butter or vegetable shortening and dust with cocoa powder, ensuring all surfaces are covered to prevent sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In the large bowl, whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and ground ginger until thoroughly mixed and aerated.
Combine Wet Ingredients:
In the medium bowl, whisk eggs, egg yolk, coffee, buttermilk, vanilla, and oil until fully combined.
Make the Batter:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
Fold together with a rubber spatula just until combined and no dry streaks remain, ensuring not to overmix.
Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs attached.
Cool the Cake:
Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15-20 minutes.
Carefully invert the cake onto the rack to cool completely.
Serve:
Dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar and serve with a dollop of whipped cream on the side.
