- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar

- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch bundt pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once the cream is hot, remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth. Let cool before spreading over the cake.
For a lighter cake, substitute the oil for Greek yogurt or applesauce. For a nuttier flavor, try adding 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter before baking. Have fun experimenting with different flavors and textures.
