Ingredients
Scale
Cake Batter
- 1 Box Devil’s Food Cake Mix
- 1 (3.9 oz) Box Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix
- ½ Cup Water
- ½ Cup Vegetable Oil
- 4 Large Eggs
- 1 Cup Sour Cream
- 1 (12 oz) Bag Chocolate Chips
Pan Preparation & Garnish
- Shortening (for greasing pan)
- Flour (for dusting pan)
- Chocolate Syrup (for garnish)
- Powdered Sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the devil’s food cake mix, instant chocolate pudding mix, water, oil, eggs, and sour cream. Whisk thoroughly until the batter is smooth with no dry clumps.
- Add chocolate chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips until just combined, ensuring the chips are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Grease the bundt pan: Coat the bundt pan with a thin layer of shortening, then dust with flour. This step is crucial for easy cake removal and to prevent burning on the edges.
- Pour and bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 45 to 50 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick or fork into the center; it should come out mostly clean.
- Cool the cake: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before attempting to remove it. This helps maintain the cake’s shape and texture.
- Garnish and serve: Once plated, drizzle the cake with chocolate syrup and sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar for an appealing finish and extra sweetness.
Notes
- Greasing the bundt pan properly with shortening and flour is critical to prevent sticking and burning.
- Do not overmix the batter after adding chocolate chips to avoid breaking them down.
- Ensure the cake cools fully before removing from the pan to avoid breaking.
- Chocolate syrup and powdered sugar are optional but add delicious flavor and presentation appeal.
