how to make Chocolate Brownie Bundt Cake

  3. Bake. Pour batter into the bundt pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
  4. Cool the cake. Place the pan on a wire rack. Let cool 10 minutes, then invert the cake onto the rack and let it cool completely.
