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!

Ingredients Equipment Method

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)

Equipment

  • 12 cup Bundt pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly mist a 12 cup Bundt pan with baking spray.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. Enjoy thoroughly!
