ingredients
2 tablespoons softened butter
12 ounces milk chocolate bars, coarsely chopped
1 cup unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 can (16 ounce size) chocolate syrup
1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
hot fudge sauce, warmed
directions
Generously grease inside and top edges of a 15-cup capacity bundt pan with softened butter.
Melt chopped chocolate bars and cool to around body temperature.
Melt butter and cool, about 15 minutes. While chocolate and butter are cooling, sift together flour, baking soda and salt.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
In a bowl of an electric mixer, mix cooled butter and sugar with the paddle attachment on medium speed, 1 minute. Add eggs, one at a time, beating 10 seconds after each addition. Add chocolate syrup, mixing well. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture along with the buttermilk. Mix well, about 30 seconds. Do not overbeat. Add vanilla and melted chocolate bars, mixing well. Turn off the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Finish combining the batter by folding with a large spatula. Pour into the prepared pan and transfer to a sheet pan to catch any drips.
Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until cake reaches an internal temp of 195 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from oven.
When cool enough to touch, gently push down toward the cake any edges of cake that remain at the top on the pan. Cool completely, preferably overnight. Note: the cake will fall in slightly on itself.
To release the cake, place the cake in a 250 degrees F oven for several minutes. Remove from the oven, place a large plate or cutting board over the cake and flip the cake pan over, releasing the cake from the pan.
Cut desired number of slices. Serve warm cake topped with warm hot fudge sauce.

Yes, as long as it will accomodate 15 cups then it will work. The larger bundt pans are harder to find these days.

JCook REVIEW:
January 13, 2012I had this cake on a business trip and dreamed about it until the day we found this recipe. I love love this cake. It tastes just like J-Alexander's. Make sure you really do use a 15 cup capacity bundt pan or it will blow up in your oven :)
