This recipe is from the Chocolate Cake Mix Doctor book and it is awesome. It is rich and chocolatey and tastes out of this world. Team it up with the Chocolate Frosting and you will be in chocolate heaven.

Darn Good Chocolate Cake

Ingredients

  • vegetable oil or spray for your pan
  • flour for dusting your pan
  • 1 package of Devils food or dark chocolate fudge cake mix
  • 1 package of Devils Food or chocolate fudge instant pudding mix (3.9 oz)
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk (can alternately use water)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (some people sub softened or melted butter)
  • 4 large eggs (if making layers or a sheet cake, I’d reduce to 3 eggs)
  • 1 1/2 cups semisweet chips

Instructions

1. Place rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325. Mist and flour your pans.

2. Combine cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, water milk, oil and eggs in a large mixing bowl (everything but the chocolate chips).

3. Blend with an electric mixer on low for 30 seconds – 1 minute. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides. Increase mixer to medium and beat 1 1/2-2 minutes. The batter should look thick and well combined.

4. Fold in the chips, making sure they are well distributed throughout the batter.

(If you want the chips to stay suspended in the cake, you could also toss them with a little flour before putting them in. I’ve never had to do that, but other people have said that their chips sink. If you want the chips to melt, use the mini’s)

5. Pour batter into pans, and smooth with a rubber spatula.

6. Bake the cake until it springs back when lightly touched and it starts to pull away from the pan – about 28-35 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool 10 minutes in pan and then turn out onto a cooling rack.
