How to cook:

Place a saucepan filled with an inch or two of water on the stove over medium-low heat. Break the chocolate into pieces in a heatproof bowl and set the bowl over the bain-marie to melt the chocolate. When the chocolate is completely smooth, remove the bowl from the pan. Add the cocoa powder and mix until smooth. Set aside to cool.
Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F).
Grease a 10-inch (25cm) bundt pan generously with butter and dust with flour. Tap out the excess flour and set aside. Make sure to grease all of the ridges well.
Whisk together the sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract in a medium mixing bowl. Set aside.
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low speed for 30 seconds to combine.
Add the softened butter and a third of the sour cream mixture and mix on low speed until combined. Raise the speed to medium and beat for 1 ½ minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
Add the rest of the sour cream mixture in 2 additions, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Pour about one third of the batter into the melted chocolate. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold until fully combined.
Transfer half of the plain cake batter into the prepared bundt pan. Top with the chocolate batter. Then pour the remaining plain batter on top. Swirl the batters together using a small offset spatula or a butter knife.
Bake the cake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Then, invert the cake onto a serving platter and let cool completely. If the cake doesn’t release from the pan, gently loosen with a butter knife or offset spatula.
