Ok, so this bundt may not win any beauty pageants, but it’s deeelicious. Yes, this ugly looking bundt is a 10 out of 10 on the delicious scale. All of the wonderful elements of a scone without having to roll out pastry and cut into even sections. No one has time for that and also, the pieces are never even, are they? You always end up with a runt of the scone litter. Not here. Ok, enough rambling. Make the dang bundt.

Pin recipe
Prep pan
- 4 tbsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 1/2 cups of flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 8 tbsp of butter, divided, cold and diced
- 1 cup plus extra of heavy cream or half and half, whichever you have
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp of vanilla
- 1 heaping cup of chocolate chips, semisweet or whatever you have
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375° and prep your 6 cup bundt with Bundt Gunk or butter. If you only have a large, 10 or 12 cup bundt, you will probably want to double this recipe.
Step 2
In a food processor, pulse together the flour and 3 tbsp of sugar (you are reserving the extra tbsp for the last step), baking powder and salt. Add six tbsp of the cold butter (you’ll be reserving two tbsp for the final step) and pulse until the butter is pea-sized. About ten pulses. Transfer to a large bowl.
Step 3
In a small bowl combine the cream, egg and vanilla. Pour over the flour mixture. In another bowl, combine the chocolate chips with a bit of flour to coat them. This stops them from sinking when the bundt bakes. I use about a tsp of flour. Add the chocolate chips to the flour and cream mixture. Stir the chips in just to combine but don’t over mix.
Step 4
Add the batter to your prepared bundt pan. It’s thick, so I used a cookie scoop. However you get the batter in the pan, just make sure to level it with a spatula so it’s even all around.
Step 5
Bake for about 25 minutes, but start checking at 20 minutes. Check to see if it’s done with a toothpick. When it is done, remove from oven and let it sit for ten minutes. But no more than ten minutes, because chocolate chips, while delicious, can be evil to get out of the bundt pan. If you do have a horrible time getting this bundt out, my advice is to get the pan warm again using your stovetop. A cookie sheet between your burner and the bundt pan should do the trick. You’ll also need patience. The bundt will plop out easier from a warm pan. If a piece does stick to the side, no worries, press it into place and move on to the next step.
Step 6
Mix the remaining tbsp of sugar with the cinnamon. Melt two tablespoons of butter. Brush the butter around the outside of the bundt. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
