2. Butter and flour a bundt cake pan.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Preparing the Icing:

1. Melt the broken dark chocolate with the butter and two tablespoons of milk in a double boiler, stirring until you have a smooth, homogenous cream.
2. When the bundt cake is cold, pour the chocolate icing over the surface, letting it flow down the sides.
3. Let it rest so that the icing solidifies before serving.

Curiosity

If you want to add an extra touch, you can enrich the dough with chocolate chips or a sprinkling of chopped hazelnuts. And for an Italian touch, you might also flavor the dough with a couple of tablespoons of orange or hazelnut liqueur for an even richer taste.
