The basic chocolate chip cake recipe has been around for a long time, but it is one of those stand-bys that I go to frequently. My version is somewhat different in that it uses dark chocolate, which I prefer. Wonderfully moist and chocolatety….serve it to all those terrific people you know and love and don’t just save it for Valentine’s Day.
I wish I could tell you just how many times I have made this over the years, but that is impossible. Oftentimes, I will keep one in the freezer for those times when you need something quick and simple to take to a neighbor or friend. Or, quite frankly, on those days when you are craving “just a bite” of chocolate but don’t want or have the energy to bake something. It freezes very well and will take just baked even after three months.
What makes it especially nice as well is that I almost always have the ingredients on hand and can avoid just one more trip to the grocery. I do love to cook, and heaven knows, I love to eat but going to the grocery every day gets really old especially on those gray, frigid days. You know the ones, right?
I hope you give this easy intense bite of chocolate a try very soon. I’d love to know what you think.
Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Cake
2014-01-17 20:01:48
Ingredients
- 1 dark chocolate cake mix of your preference
- 1 small instant chocolate pudding mix
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup canola oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 8 ounces sour cream
- 6 ounces mini chocolate chips OR dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Stir together the cake and pudding mixes; beat in the eggs one at a time. Add the oil, water, vanilla and sour cream and beat until well blended. Stir in the chocolate chips. The batter will be very thick. Pour into a bundt pan that has been coated with cooking spray. Smooth out the batter and lightly tap several times on the countertop. Bake at 325 degrees for approximately 1 hour. Turn onto cake plate while still warm. You can dust it with powdered sugar or dark cocoa, but I usually just leave it plain.
- Serve it as is or topped with whipped cream, ice cream, raspberry coulis or fresh berries. Your mouth will love you!
