DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease bundt pan with non-stick spray.

In a bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla. Working in thirds, mix your dry ingredients into your wet ingredients until fully combined.

Fold in chocolate and then pour the batter into your pan. Tap lightly to get rid of any air bubbles and then bake for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
