Step 1

This step is important! The more ornate the design, the more carefully you need to grease the Bundt pan. (This recipe assumes a 10″ fluted tube pan. See below for tips for using different sizes or shapes.)

Step 2

Plop a generous amount of shortening onto a paper towel and wipe the interior of the pan. Then sprinkle flour over the pan, and tap away the excess.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.

Step 4

Fold in the chocolate chips, being careful to distribute them throughout the batter.

Step 5

Transfer the batter to your prepared Bundt pan. Bake at 350ºF until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, 35-40 minutes. Let the cake cool in its pan for 10 minutes, then remove the cake.

Step 6

Set the cake on a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

Step 7

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla until smooth. Gradually beat in confectioners’ sugar.

Step 8

You can simply spread the frosting across the top of the cake, but to achieve the signature Nothing Bundt Cakes look, use a piping bag to pipe the frosting in thick stripes down the cake.
