Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Slowly stir in the hot coffee (or hot water), mixing until the batter is smooth. (The batter will be thin—this is normal.)
Fold in chocolate chips if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then carefully invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Drizzle with chocolate glaze or ganache before serving.
Tips for Best Results
Use hot coffee instead of water to deepen the chocolate flavor (it won’t taste like coffee).
Grease the Bundt pan well to prevent sticking—don’t skip this step.
Don’t overbake to keep the cake moist and tender.
Let the cake cool before glazing to get a perfect drip effect.
