Ok, so you are probably thinking…wow, this girl eats a lot of desserts! Seriously, I have been making some fun desserts to take to people who needed cheering up, for people’s birthdays and this one I made for my church mom’s group recipe exchange. So…I really haven’t eaten a lot of desserts lately, even though most of my postings as of late have been desserts! This one is my friend Tina’s favorite!! She loves it. I post this recipe in honor of her…someone who LOVES chocolate! We found this in a Betty Crocker cookbook, you know the ones that totally get your attention right by the checkout? We both found it in there and it has been our go to cake whenever we are in the mood for lots of heavenly, decadent CHOCOLATE! I hope you enjoy this cake as much as we do!
Chocolate Lover’s Dream Cake
Cake:
1 (18 ounce) box fudge cake mix
1/2 cup chocolate milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 16 ounce container sour cream
1 3 ½ ounce box instant chocolate fudge pudding
1 12 ounce bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
Glaze:
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tblsp butter
2 tblsp heavy cream or whole milk
Heat oven to 350degrees. Generously spray a 12 cup bundt cake pan with cooking spray. Lightly flour. In a large bowl mix cake mix, chocolate milk, oil, eggs, sour cream and dry pudding mix with a spoon until well blended. Stir in the chocolate chips and then spoon the batter into the pan. The batter will be very thick.
Bake 55 to 65 minutes or until the top springs back when touched lightly in the center. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Turn it out onto a serving platter or onto a cooling rack and cool completely.
In a 3 quart saucepan or microwave safe bowl, heat the glaze ingredients, stirring frequently until the chocolate chips are melted and the mixture is smooth. Drizzle the warm glaze over the cake. Store loosely covered at room temperature.
*Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat!
* If you think the chocolate glaze is a bit much, just omit that part and sprinkle powdered sugar over the cake right before serving. Delicious! 🙂
