Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 box Devil’s food cake mix
- 1 small package instant chocolate pudding
- 4 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Mix all ingredients except chocolate chips well. Then gently fold in chips.
- I always use a 9 x 13 pan, by 2 – 9 inch round pans can also be used. Bake for 30 – 40 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Recipe Notes
- Mix ingredients very well before adding chocolate chips
- Be careful not to add liquids to pudding mix only as it can begin to set up like pudding
- The pudding makes this cake so moist, but it also means the cake takes longer than normal to bake
- Baking times vary, so I use a toothpick to test the cake a couple of times to prevent burning
- The cake can be made in two 9 inch pans or in a 9 x 13-inch pan
- I always use store-bought icing to save time, but feel free to make homemade icing
