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

  1. 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.
  2. Add chocolate chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips until just combined, ensuring the chips are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
