Yield: 1 (12-cup) Bundt cake

Ingredients

  • 1 (15.25 ounce) package devil’s food cake mix
  • 1 (5.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 12-cup Bundt pan to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, chocolate pudding mix, sour cream, vegetable oil, warm water, and eggs. Beat until the batter is smooth and fully blended.
  3. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
  5. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the top springs back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan for at least 1 1/2 hours before inverting onto a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
