Ingredients

 

  • 1 Box Devils Food Cake
  • 1 3.9 oz. Box Instant Chocolate Pudding
  • 1/2 Cup Water
  • 1/2 Cup Oil
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 Cup Sour Cream
  • 1 12 oz Bag Chocolate Chips
  • Chocolate Syrup To Garnish
  • Powdered Sugar To Garnish
  • Shortening & Flour To Grease Pan

 

Instructions

  • Combine cake mix, pudding mix, water, oil, eggs and sour cream. Whisk until well combined and there are no dry clumps. Add in your chocolate chips and mix until just combined.
  • Grease your bundt pan well. I prefer to do this by coating with a very thin layer of shortening and then dusting with flour. Properly greasing your pan is critical to easily removing your cake from the pan, as well as not burning the outer edge of your cake, don’t skip this step!
  • Pour your cake batter into greased bunt pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 45-50 minutes. When cake is done, a toothpick or fork will come out mostly clean.
  • Leave in pan until completely cooled. After plating cake, drizzle with chocolate syrup and a dash of powdered sugar to garnish!

Notes

Should you let your bundt cake cool before flipping it?

Yes. After removing from the oven place your pan on a wire rack to cool. For this recipe, allow cake to cool 20 minutes before flipping. This gives the cake time to firm up so you can flip it without leaving pieces behind. I like to flip my cake directly onto a cake stand or cake carrier.

Can you freeze a chocolate bundt cake?

Yes! I freeze this cake before adding garnishes. Allow cake to cool and then wrap with saran wrap or store in freezer safe container. Saves in freezer for up to six weeks. Move cake to fridge to thaw overnight. Once ready to serve, garnish with chocolate sauce and powdered sugar.

Can I use cream cheese frosting instead of chocolate sauce?

Absolutely! Piping cream cheese down the sides of a bundt cake is so pretty and also tastes delicious!
