RIDICULOUS CHOCOLATE CAKE

This is the most RIDICULOUS Chocolate Cake I've ever made...seriously delicious, super easy and crazy moist. There is so much to love about this cake!

You all know I am not opposed to using a cake mix from time to time. I, personally, look at cake mixes like any other ingredient. I don’t use them all the time, as I find making a cake from scratch is just as easy, but there are times when there is no substitute. Today is an example of that.

Ingredients

Cake

• 1 (15.25 ounce) box chocolate cake mix
• 1 (3.9 ounce) box instant chocolate pudding
• 1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
• 3 eggs
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Frosting

• 1/4 cup butter, room temperature
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Cake

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Liberally grease a 10- inch bundt pan with butter or shortening and lightly dust with flour. Set aside.
2. In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment combine all the cake ingredients. Mix on low for 30 seconds until combined and then on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Stir in the chocolate chips and pour the batter into the prepared pan.
3. Bake for 55-60 minutes, until the cake is set. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then invert the pan onto a cake plate. Cool completely before frosting.

Frosting

1. In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on low speed beat the butter, cocoa powder and powdered sugar until combined. Add in the vanilla and cream and beat on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until creamy, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
2. Frost the top of the cake and garnish with more chocolate chips if desired.
