Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease bundt pan.
  • Follow cake mix directions except replace water with buttermilk, and add 4 eggs instead of the number called for.
  • Follow baking directions, check approx 5 minutes before timer goes off.
  • Allow to cool in pan 10 minutes, then cool on wire rack approx 1 hour or until throughly cooled.
  • Prepare Icing
  • Melt 1 stick of butter on low/medium heat on stove.
  • Add cocoa, confectioners sugar and milk stirring until combined.
  • As confectioners sugar melts whip icing with a whisk to smooth icing.
  • Bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Add vanilla and stir.
  • Watch consistency of icing as it cools.
  • When it starts to thicken up a bit scoop out icing with a 1/2 cup measuring cup and drizzle on top of cake allowing it to drip down the sides and middle.
  • Allow to completely cool.
  • Shave chocolate bar with cheese grater, sprinkle generously on top of cake. I used 2/3 of an Aldi's premium milk chocolate giant candy bar.
