Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I am generally not a big chocolate cake fan but this one was a hit. So moist. I did not have a problem getting it out of my old bundt pan but I misplaced it. I have been having a devil of a time since then until I tried prepping the pan with goop which I discovered after doing extensive research on prepping bundt pans. (It is 1 part flour, 1 part veg oil, and 1 part shortening).

    Interesting crispy edges and chewy interior and delicious, rich flavor. I did not find coffee to be overpowering. Thankfully, I had no problems with the cake sticking to the pan, but I was extra careful in pan prep because of others' comments. I topped with a quick glaze of 2/3 cup powdered sugar, 1 TBS milk, and 1/4 tsp almond extract.

    This was a hit. It is rich and delicious but careful! Despite the generous spray of Baker's Joy this cake stuck a bit. It was also very fragile when I moved it to the serving plate.

    As the other note suggested, whole choc chips sank to the bottom and stuck to my bundt pan in a couple spots. Delicious cake, but will use Stella Parks' suggestion of pouring some batter into the tin before adding the choc chips next time. Delicious cake, though!

    I used buttermilk instead of sour cream since that's what I had on hand. I also used instant espresso powder instead of coffee, so I only used 1 Tbsp. My dark chocolate chips were rather large, so I chopped them somewhat, which ended up being a good decision, as the whole ones sank to the bottom and stuck to the pan. So the cake didn't look that pretty, but it did taste great - just like hot cocoa. My family really liked this cake.
