Bundt cakes are the best! If someone says something else you should slap him/her in the face. Well… not really, of course, but maybe in your imagination ;) They deserve it because bundt cakes are really good! This Chocolate Bundt Cake with Oreo Filling is definitely super delicious and worth every slap in the face :P
Even though some might say bundt cakes are boring there is nothing wrong with them and they are definitely not boring! Look at this one here with all the chocolate and Oreo cookies. I bet you can already imagine how delicious it will taste. Or maybe you should take a look at this Bundt Cake with Bananas and Rum – super moist and delicious! So is this one here. Mostly because of the Oreo cream cheese filling. That gives the cake the right amount of moistness ;) I mean… sometimes cakes can turn out too moist and dense if there is too much liquid in the batter or filling, but that is still better than too dry. If you check regularly with a wooden skewer that’s normally not a problem. If you keep an eye on the cake it will get the right consistency. It’s not that difficult ;P
I used black cocoa* to get it really dark. I use that kind of cocoa quite often lately. Mostly because the package I bought was quite big and expensive and I don’t want to waste any of it. If you store cocoa for too long it gets a funky taste. You can totally use „regular“ baking cocoa. The cake will not turn out as black as this one but still very tasty. If you have some black food color you can „cheat“ a bit and get it dark without the black cocoa… it’s up to you.
If you want that the filling pops out a bit more than here on the pictures I recommend not mixing the filling as much as I did. I thought the cream cheese and Oreos should be mixed super well and ended up with a quite grayish color for the filling. Not bad at the end, but if you mix less or use less crushed Oreos that’s result should look different. I will do that next time for sure ;)

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a large bundt pan lightly and set aside. Chop the chocolate and add together with the cocoa powder to a bowl and add the (really) hot water. Mix until you get a thick and smooth chocolate mixture. Add the buttermilk and mix in. Set aside. Melt the butter and let cool down a bit.
3. For the batter add the melted (and cooled) butter together with the brown sugar and vanilla extract to a large bowl and mix until well combined and lighter in color. Add the eggs and mix on high speed until light and fluffy. Mix the flour with the ground almonds, baking powder, and salt. Add in two batches alternating with the chocolate mixture to the bowl and mix until just combined – do not overmix! Pour about half of the batter into the prepared bundt pan, then use a spoon to add the Oreo filling in a ring on top of the batter – try to stay in the middle and do not get too close to the sides of the pan. Carefully spoon the remaining batter on top of the filling to cover it completely. Smooth out the top and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean (crumbs are fine but not liquid batter). Take out of the oven and let cool down on a wire rack for about 10 minutes, then carefully remove from the pan and let cool down completely on a wire rack.
4. For the frosting add the confectioners’ sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract to a bowl and mix until you get a thick and smooth frosting (start with less heavy cream and add more if needed). Decorate the cooled cake with the frosting and sprinkle some crushed Oreos on top.
2. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Eine große Gugelhupfform leicht einfetten und zur Seite stellen. Die Schokolade grob hacken und dann mit dem Kakao in eine Schüssel geben und mit dem (sehr) heißen Wasser verrühren. Es sollte eine glatte Masse entstehen ohne Klümpchen. Die Buttermilch dazugeben und unterrühren. Zur Seite stellen. Die Butter schmelzen und etwas abkühlen lassen.
3. Für den Teig die geschmolzene (und abgekühlte) Butter zusammen mit dem braunen Zucker und Vanille Extrakt in eine große Schüssel geben und aufschlagen, bis die Masse etwas heller ist. Die Eier dazugeben und auf höchster Stufe hell und luftig aufschlagen. Das Mehl mit den gemahlenen Mandeln, Backpulver und Salz vermischen und dann abwechselnd mit der flüssigen Kakaomasse in zwei Portionen zur Schüssel dazugeben und alles nur kurz verrühren – hier nicht mehr zu viel rühren, sonst wird der Kuchen zu kompakt. Etwa die Hälfte des Teiges in die vorbereitete Form füllen und dann die Oreo Füllung mit einem Löffel in einem Ring auf dem Teig in der Form verteilen. Versucht in der Mitte zu bleiben und mit der Füllung nicht zu nah an den Rand zu kommen. Den restlichen Schokoteig vorsichtig auf der Füllung verteilen und damit komplett abdecken – glattstreichen und dann für 50-60 Minuten backen. Mit einem Holzspieß testen ob noch Teig kleben bleibt und den Kuchen erst herausholen, wenn der Spieß sauber (ohne flüssige Teigigste) herauskommt – ein paar Teigkrümel sind aber ok. Aus dem Ofen holen und auf einem Kuchengitter für etwa 10 Minuten abkühlen lassen, dann vorsichtig aus der Form lösen und auf einem Gitter komplett auskühlen lassen.
4. Für das Frosting den Puderzucker mit Sahne und Vanille Extrakt in einer Schüssel vermischen. Das Frosting sollte relativ dickflüssig sein, also besser mit etwas Sahne anfangen und nach und nach mehr dazugeben, bis die Konsistenz passt. Den Kuchen damit dekorieren und dann mit zerbröckelten Oreos bestreuen.

When you say1 cup of ground almonds, do you mean almond flour/meal or whole almonds that have been pulverized? Thank you.
Hi Sarah,
ground almonds are ground almonds, I thought.
Not the fine almond meal that has been stripped of some of the oil from the nuts. ;)
Cheers,
Marc
