I wish I was eating a piece of this for breakfast right now instead of this silly protein bar!  Courtney and Jaren came over for dinner the other night and when she comes for dinner, there must be chocolate cake for dessert!

1 cup butter

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1 cup water

2 eggs

2 cups sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

1/2 cup sour cream

1  Preheat oven to 350.  Spray a bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray with flour.

2  Melt butter, cocoa and water over low heat, stirring constantly, until well combined.  Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.

3  Combine eggs and sugar in a mixing bowl then mix in salt and vanilla.

4  Add chocolate mixture to egg mixture and mix well.  Add flour, baking soda and sour cream until well combined.

5  Pour into bundt pan and bake for 45 – 50 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.  Let cool 10 – 15 minutes in pan before removing.

I added some chopped up candies to the batter (from a box of chocolates we received as a gift) then I took some leftover chocolate buttercream icing and put it in the microwave for 15 seconds to melt it just a bit and then poured it over the cake as a glaze.
