Irresistible Chocolate Cake
This is a family favorite in my home. It can be our little secret that it contains boxed cake mix! The addition of pudding mix and sour cream renders a cake with that homemade taste that we all love!
Equipment
- 12 cup Bundt pan
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate fudge cake mix (18.25 oz)
- 1 box chocolate instant pudding mix (3.9 oz)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup warm water
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1½ cups mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- baking spray (for misting the pan)
- 1 can chocolate icing (only use half the container)
- chocolate candies or sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly mist a 12 cup Bundt pan with baking spray.
- Place the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, sour cream, warm water and oil in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer at low for 1 minute. Then increase the speed to medium for 2-3 minutes. The batter will be thick.
- Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it out with a spatula. Place the pan in the oven. Bake 45-50 minutes until it springs back when pressed lightly with your finger.
- Remove the pan from the oven and allow the cake to cool for 20 minutes. Turn it out onto a plate and wait about 15 more minutes before icing with chocolate icing. You can add chocolate candies or sprinkles or just leave it plain
- Enjoy thoroughly!
