Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a bundt pan and dust with cocoa powder.

In a medium bowl pour boiling water over the chocolate Callets and whisk until smooth. Whisk in sour cream and set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, ground pecans, confectioners sugar, cocoa, and salt.

In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and butter on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Turn mixer to low and add eggs and yolks slowly, scraping down the bowl as necessary and until well combined.

Add the dry mixture in 3 additions alternating with 2 additons of the chocolate sour cream mixture.

Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake for no longer than 45 minutes. The edges should start to pull away from sides of pan and top will look cracked. A cake tester placed in center will be very wet. Let the cake cool in pan on a wire rack for 1 1/2 hours. Invert onto a serving plate and let cool completely, about 2 hours. Pour fudge glaze over the cake, if desired.
