BAKING:
Preheat oven to 180°C (356°F) with the upper and lower heart function
Put the baking pan in the oven on the middle rack and bake for 55 to 65 minutes
After baking take your finished chocolate cake out, but keep it in the baking pan
Tip: You can check if the cake is ready by sticking a toothpick in the cake, pulling it out and look if any dough sticks to it. If no dough is sticking to the toothpick than the cake is ready.
COOLING:
1 ) Let the fudgy chocolate bundt cake cool in the baking pan for about 15 minutes.
Afterward, transfer it to a cooling rack or something else and let it cool another 15 minutes
2 ) For that, you can place a board on top of the cake/pan and flip it upside down, and take a pot, fill it with water and heat it up, When it starts boiling, lower the heat to low/medium and place a big stainless steel bowl on top
3 ) The bottom of the bowl should touch the water. Add the dark couverture chocolate, butter, nd honey and stir constantly until fully melted and creamy
Tip: It is recommended to let the couverture chocolate melt slowly on low heat or otherwise it could burn to the bowl
FOR THE GLAZE:
Pour the chocolate glaze over the cake and spread it evenly with a spoon or brush Wait at least 60 minutes and check if the glaze has hardened enough If not, just give it some more time
