Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1 box (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cup warm water
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons (for greasing pan) unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons (for dusting pan) flour or cocoa powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Generously grease a 10-cup bundt pan with 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, making sure to coat all ridges. Dust with 2 tablespoons of flour or cocoa powder to prevent sticking.
In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix and the instant pudding mix until well blended.
Add the sour cream, vegetable oil, eggs, and warm water to the dry ingredients. Mix together using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips gently with a spatula, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the deepest part of the cake comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
Carefully invert the bundt pan onto a wire cooling rack or serving plate and gently tap to release the cake.
Let the cake cool completely before serving, or drizzle with your favorite chocolate ganache or glaze for extra decadence.
