Chocolate Bundt Cake

I love baking and have decided to use our blog to occasionally post some of my latest creations. Today I made "Chocolate Lover's Dream Cake" for a party. It is an easy recipe, using boxed cake mix. It is from the Betty Crocker Simply Desserts cookbook, which I received as a Christmas gift... thanks Sarah!

Cake:
1 pkg butter recipe chocolate cake mix
1/2 cup chocolate milk
1/3 cup butter, melted
3 eggs
1 container (16 oz) sour cream
1 pkg (4 serving size) chocolate fudge instant pudding & pie filling mix
1 bag (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips

Glaze:
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips

3 Tablespoons butter
3 Tablespoons light corn syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons water

  • Heat oven to 350 F. Generously grease 12-cup bundt cake pan with butter; lightly flour.
  • In large bowl combine cake mix, chocolate milk, butter, eggs, sour cream, and pudding mix (dry) with spoon until well blended (batter will be very thick). Stir in chocolate chips. Spoon into pan.
  • Bake 55 to 65 minutes or until top springs back when touched lightly in center. Cool in pan 10 minutes. Turn pan upside down onto wire rack or heatproof serving plate; remove pan. Cool completely, about 2 hours.
  • In 1-quart saucepan, heat glaze ingredients over low heat, stirring frequently, until chocolate chips are melted and mixture is smooth. Drizzle glaze over cooled cake. Store loosely covered at room temperature.
Note... This cake is very chocolaty!
I recommend enjoying it with some fresh strawberries or vanilla ice cream.
