Kitchen Sink Chocolate Bundt Cake
Ingredients:
2 1/3 cups cake flour
3/4 cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
1 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips, divided use
1 cup peanut butter chips
1 cup toffee bits
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup coarsely chopped peanut butter-filled pretzels
3/4 cup coarsely chopped chocolate sandwich cookies
1/4 cup coarsely chopped salted peanuts
1/3 cup caramel sauce
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 12-cup Bundt pan with flour-added cooking spray.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
In a large mixing bowl, using a mixer on medium speed, beat together butter and sugar until creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla, until combined, about 1 minute. Reduce mixer speed to low, and beat in flour mixture, alternating with buttermilk. Continue to beat for 1-2 minutes, or until ingredients are well combined; stir in 1 cup chocolate chips, peanut butter chips and toffee bits until combined.
Pour batter into prepared pan, and shake/tap a few times, to allow batter to settle into all of the creases. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into cake comes out with moist crumbs attached.
Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack; run a knife around the edges of pan, and invert cake onto platter; cool for 45 minutes.
Bring cream to a boil, in a small saucepan, over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, and stir in the additional 3/4 cup chocolate chips, until melted and smooth; drizzle evenly over cake and spread with a knife.
Sprinkle and pack pretzel pieces, cookie pieces, and peanuts onto top and sides of cake; drizzle with caramel sauce.

congrats on creating your new favourite cake!! i think it'll turn into my favourite cake to eat very soon!! it's one sexily decorated and packaged piece of work. WOW! x
ReplyDeleteOh my! My cholesterol level went up by 5 points!!! That, Emiline is a masterpiece! Well done!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. All that in one cake! Sounds wonderful. Your recipes are so creative and tasty!
ReplyDeleteThat would probably be my favourite cake as well if I made it. Really, what's not to like? Chocolate, peanut butter, pretzel, oreos, more chocolate, more peanut butter, oh I'm soooooooooo drooling right now! Woman that must be orgasmic!
ReplyDeleteYum, this sounds fabulous. I really like the combination of pb/tofee/chocolate.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds amazing. I love the addition of pretzels, I never would have thought about it! It looks so dark and moist.
ReplyDeleteDesserts that sit around?? Do you need my address? I think I would not have thrown this one out either.
ReplyDeleteOH NO! This cake looks waaaaaaay too good! Where did I put those peanut butter chips...
ReplyDeleteHoly crap I could not live with you without some day finding myself bed ridden and on those Discovery health shows about the people who way over 1000lbs.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a winner- have you got a contest to enter this recipe into?
ReplyDeleteDon't you have like neighbors, friends, starving college students you can giveaway your leftover sweets and baked goods to? It's such a shame that they get thrown away...
That sounds (and looks!) amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, my. Oh, my my. Oh my goodness. Everything I love and nothing I don't. Guess what I'll be making our October revival at church in a few weeks? Let me print this recipe off right now. I'll be the envy of everyone...
ReplyDeleteWhy do you throw them in the garbage bin? Pity we are not neighbours.
ReplyDeleteWow! I can see why this would be a favorite! I am definately going to have to try this! Sugar high on the way!
ReplyDeleteEmiline, why don't you try to sell your pies and cakes instead of throwing them away? What a sad thing! Or maybe you can take them to a school or something!
ReplyDeleteI know you ate this one (it looks awesome), but I bet the other ones are sooooooo good too... open your own shop!
I think I am going to try this out. My hubby will love it!
ReplyDeleteWow, this cake looks amazing! I might have to give your recipe a try, my hubby loves Bundt cake.
ReplyDeleteOMG Emiline your family must LOVE you!! This is one scrumptious cake!

Holy cow! This cake looks AMAZING! I don't even want to think about the number of calories in it...but I'm definatly adding it to my list of things to bake. :)
ReplyDeleteYou really should read the Twilight books! They are fabulous. And they are "young adult fiction" so it's a pretty easy read, eventhough they are about 500+ pages.
So is this the father's day cake?
ReplyDeleteUps, I forgot to say that there's something for you in my blog.
ReplyDeleteI don't see my previous comment, maybe you didn't approve it yet.
Happy day!
Oh my goodness, that looks freaking awesome!!!!! WOW!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are a baking fool lately! I can't keep up with you! I love the name of the cake by the way and the ingredients list looks like I would love the taste too!
ReplyDeleteAmy, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! Yes. My Bundt was a failure.
ReplyDeleteDo you like the pan in the picture?
Ooohh another idea for using up the last of my peanut butter chips
ReplyDeleteYou are evil, this Bundt looks delish and don't ever change!
ReplyDeleteHaha what isn't in this cake? I die for bundt cakes!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow there really is EVERYTHING in there. It's like a mix of chocolate awesome :)
ReplyDeleteI love waking up each morning and seeing slivers and pieces of cake gone. I chuckle a bit, but am glad everyone else really digs it :)
That definitely is an interesting cake! I like the salty-sweet contrast of the pretzels and peanuts.
ReplyDeleteEmiline, this look absolutely yummy and delicious!! xGloria
ReplyDeleteOMG!! I was dying even before I read all that went into the topping!!
ReplyDeleteNo DOUBT this would be a favorite cake recipe - it has so much goodness in it!! Yum!!
ReplyDeleteLove the pan. Mine failed too. But yours was way more original than mine. And probably tastier.
ReplyDeleteohh yum! i have been wanting to do something with chocolate and pretzels for awhile. It sounds like I should send you my potato chip caramel and chocolate chip cookie recipe... it sounds like you would like it :)
ReplyDeletechocolate cake would be heaven right now.
ReplyDeleteOh boy! That is one helluva cake! I can understand why there were no leftovers. It looks sublime!
ReplyDeleteSounds dreamy, for sure. I like the crunchy outer coating. It reminds me of a candy bar, but much better of course, because it's a cake! I can definitely see how and why this went so fast! :)
ReplyDeleteYou should have your own
ReplyDeleteshop and I would shop there every day!!!!!!!!!the cake looks so good
holy cow is right. wow. I'm glad it was eaten slice by slice until it disappeared. I'm excited for my insides when I make this. (minus the peanut butter and other nutty things).
ReplyDeleteWow that cake looks great! Dark and delicious!
ReplyDeleteOMG my hips are expanding as I type! Must. Have. Your blog is a very dangerous place.
ReplyDeleteYum! I love a good mix of flavors and texture.
ReplyDeleteI found the figs at my local grocery store (HyVee) though it was the first and last time I'd ever seen them there before.
That's great! It looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWow, this sounds decadent and oh so good. Like a really good candy bar.
ReplyDeleteNow you're talkin' my kind of language here. This would also be a great way to introduce a variety of different chocolate chips if a person wanted to, especially to those chocolatiers.
ReplyDeleteKeep on this track, please?
phew, that sure is a lot of ingredients-the name makes sense now! that being said, it looks DELICIOUS! yum, i'm going to have to try this soon for sure!
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't know how any of your desserts could get thrown away... Have you heard of a freezer...or Fedex...TO ME!!!
ReplyDeleteThis cake looks awesome...what's a peanut butter filled pretzel?
i just bookmarked the recipe! I L.O.V.E. ur recipes!
ReplyDeleteyou toss your desserts? how can you do such a thing when there are dessert-less people all over the world all the time, specifically in my house right now! :)
ReplyDeletei love all your additions. good stuff.
Sounds like it'd be my favorite cake too! Love all those flavors. Have a great weekend, wink wink!
ReplyDeleteThis cake left me speechless. What a delicious combination. It's everything one could want in a dessert. I'm thinking this would make a great event cake.
ReplyDeleteoh dear, i can already feel the added kilos just by reading about this and looking at the so yummy delicious pictures.
ReplyDeleteOh, dearie! I can't believe the amazing things you make go to the trash!
ReplyDeleteI'm too shocked!
How do you not weigh, like, 800lbs? That is a sexy cake!
ReplyDeleteThat looks over the top good! Sounds like a great way to clean out my pantry.
ReplyDeleteSend some to me if there is any left!!
ReplyDeleteOh my! That looks so wonderful! I've never used toffe in a cake. What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, this cake has everything I love!! What a great creation! It looks so so good!!
ReplyDeleteWow. The deep-deep, dark-dark, deep-dark color is enough, alone, to impress!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely delicious, I'm sure!
Umm, I think I just went into diabetic shock just looking at that picture...amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe problem with this cake: I would probably end up eating the entire thing by myself. In the course of about 32 hours...
This is exactly what I have been looking for!! My husband's birthday is this Sunday and he is a peanut butter/chocolate freak- I am making my grocery list now! THANK YOU- you saved me!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you throw cakes away, how about throwing some in the mail? :-)
ReplyDeleteYou have surpassed yourself here, Em. That cake looks absolutely darling, I love it.
wow, it IS everything but the kitchen sink! kinda like these cookies we made for TWD recently (http://www.goodeatsblog.com/2008/09/chunky-peanut-butter-and-chocolate.html)
ReplyDeletebut it looks sinfully delicious!
OH man, the toppings alone are enough to inspire me to make it. Yum, yum, yummy.
ReplyDeleteOh Good Lord this sounds amazing! And you weren't kidding about it having everything but the kitchen sink! Yowza, I want some now!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds so great!
ReplyDeleteI have wished for a while that I invented the Bundt pan! I just think it is genius. I did a post with a Bundt pan yesterday!
Bon Voyage Dear Emiline...
this looks so, so good! Great creation!
ReplyDeleteWow - that looks dark and rich and sinful (just the way I like my cake!)
ReplyDeleteHave a great holiday
This is killing me. Killing me! I just got the results of my bloodwork back today, and I'm healthy enough to eat a couple slices of this, with no ill effects.
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing!!!
ReplyDeletethis looks delicious hmm chocolatey.
ReplyDeleteWhoa this looks amazing Emiline!!!
ReplyDeleteRosie x
Whoa - this is extraordinary Emiline. I'm a lover of Bundt. I secretly wish I invented the bundt pan....OK, well that's no longer a secret. And I posted a bundt cake last week :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks insane! I'm bookmarking it right now and hope to make it soon!
