Ingredients

  • 1 package Devil's food cake mix
  • 3.9 ounce chocolate instant pudding
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. and grease a 10-inch bundt pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, instant pudding, eggs, vegetable oil, water, and sour cream. Mix until well combined but don't overmix.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips and then pour the batter into the greased bundt pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes.
  • Allow the cake to cool for 15 minutes before inverting the cake onto a plate.
  • To make the cream cheese frosting, cream the softened unsalted butter and cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. This should take about 1 minute.
  • Add the powdered sugar. Mix on low speed for about 20 seconds, then mix on high speed for 3-4 minutes or until the frosting is nice and fluffy. 
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
  • To frost the cake, position the bag just above the cake, close to the outer edge.
  • Squeeze and pull a line of frosting. Apply gentle pressure to the bag and slowly move it in a circular motion, following the curve of the cake. As you squeeze the frosting out, it will create a line that goes up and over the cake, into the center hole.

Notes

  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting; otherwise, the frosting will melt and run all over the place.
  • Grease your bundt pan generously so the cake doesn't stick.
  • Before inverting the cake onto a plate, run a knife along the sides and center to loosen it up.
