Equipment

Ingredients
  

Cake

Chocolate Frosting

  • ¼ cup salted butter very soft
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 dash salt
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 Tbsp milk (more if needed)

Instructions
 

  • Spray a 12 inch Bundt pan with Baker's Joy cooking spray, or use shortening and flour. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Cake:

  • Combine cake mix, dry pudding mix, eggs, sour cream, oil, and water in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes, or till smooth. Fold in chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
  • Pour the cake batter into the prepared bundt cake pan.
  • Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes, or till a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with no wet batter.
  • Let cake cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then invert to a cooling rack. Cool completely.

Frosting:

  • Combine butter, cocoa, salt, powdered sugar, vanilla, and 3 Tbsp milk in a medium bowl. Beat till smooth, adding enough milk to get a spreadable consistency. It should be thin enough that it will run down the sides of the cake a little, but not be as thin as a glaze.
  • Spread the frosting over the cooled cake, letting it fall evenly down the sides.

Notes

  • Cake can be stored at room temperature for 4-5 days in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap. It will last a few more days if you store it in the fridge, but it's best to let it come to room temperature before serving.
  • For best results, use mini chocolate chips. Regular chocolate chips tend to sink to the bottom of the cake.
