Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Whisk together the eggs in a separate bowl.
Add in the vanilla, milk, and sour cream.
In another medium bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt.
Add egg mixture ⅓ at a time into a bowl with butter and sugar alternating with ⅓ of dry ingredients, mixing between each addition.
Mix the batter together until combined.

Grease bundt cake with vegetable shortening.
Sprinkle over with flour. Shake off access flour from the bundt cake.
Pour cake batter into bundt pan evenly.
Bake for 50-65 minutes or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.
Remove cake from the pan and allow to cool completely before drizzling chocolate frosting.
Chocolate frosting
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine butter, chocolate chips, cocoa powder, and heavy cream.
Stir until chocolate chips melt.
Let chocolate frosting entirely cool before drizzling over the bundt cake.
Sugared cranberries and rosemary

Roll cranberries and rosemary in the sugar to coat, a few at a time. Once they are coated, transfer them to a baking sheet to dry.
