Glazed Chocolate Bundt Cake

• Cooking-oil spray
• 1 1/2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar, divided
• 3/4 cup Dutch-processed unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup chopped pitted dates
• 1 1/4 cups low-fat buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup grapeseed or vegetable oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 1/2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
• 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
• 2 tablespoons Bourbon

1. Preheat oven to 325u0b0. Spray a Bundt pan with cooking-oil spray. In a large bowl, combine pastry flour, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in 1 cup brown sugar.
2. In a blender, whirl cocoa and dates with 2/3 cup boiling water until smooth. Whirl in buttermilk, eggs, oil, and vanilla. Set aside.
3. Put bittersweet chocolate in a small glass bowl and microwave on high for 10 seconds. Stir and repeat until melted. Stir 1/2 of date mixture into flour mixture. Stir in melted chocolate, then remaining date mixture, and finally chocolate chips.
4. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Cool cake 15 minutes, then gently remove from pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
5. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, espresso powder, and remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar. Add cream and simmer 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in powdered sugar until smooth. Stir in Bourbon and let cool. When glaze and cake are both at room temperature, drizzle glaze over cake.
