Chocolate Cake


  • I'm definitely not a baker.  I really have never even been a big "sweet eater."  But, every once in awhile, I get a hankering for some chocolate.  Specifically, chocolate cake or brownies.  This bakes much like a pound cake and is very moist and rich.  It doesn't need frosting, just a big tall glass of cold milk!  I know the sour cream and whole cup of vegetable oil sounds weird.  And, yes, it's probably not healthy.  But it is good.  And that's all that I cared about.  Now that my chocolate hankering has been satisfied, well, now that's another story...

  • 1 box of devil's food cake mix
  • 1 (3.9 ounce) box instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

  • Preheat oven to 350.  In a large bowl, mix together the cake and pudding mixes, sour cream, oil, beaten eggs and water. Stir in the chocolate chips and pour batter into a well greased 12 cup bundt pan. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until top is springy to the touch and a wooden toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool cake thoroughly in pan at least an hour and a half before inverting onto a plate If desired, dust the cake with powdered sugar.
