Melt 227g unsalted butter and 3⁄4 cup cocoa powder (I like the color of rouge cocoa powder myself). Be sure it doesn’t cool down too fast or it will become solid.

For the dry ingredients: Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt.

Add all the wet ingredients to dry ingredients.

Butter up a bundt pan very well. Pour in your batter.

Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes.

Once it's done (clean toothpick or wooden chopstick is a good indicator), let it rest a few minutes before turning it out.

The chili oil caramel is quite simple. Melt butter, brown sugar, chili oil, and kosher salt together. Cook for 2 minutes on medium or until it becomes a darker colored mass. Add milk a little at a time to get the consistency you prefer for a glaze.

Pour glaze quickly while hot. I like using a spoon for a drippier effect.

Serve and enjoy! Feel free to top with additional chili crisp.
