Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mint extract
1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9 inch bundt pan. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Add the vanilla and mint extracts and mix until combined. Slowly mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Add the sour cream and mix until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before glazing.

To make the glaze, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat and add the dark chocolate chips. Stir until the chips are melted and the glaze is smooth. Pour over the cooled cake and let sit until the glaze is set. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.
