Tasty Tuesday: Chocolatiest Chocolate Cake


This cake is chocolatey.

Super chocolatey.

Like if-you-love-chocolate-you-have-to-make-this-cake-now chocolatey.

It's so moist, so decadent, so rich. So addicting. 




I've taken it to get-togethers, pot lucks, and family parties. And people always ask for the recipe.

It's that good.

I mean, with chocolate cake, chocolate chips, chocolate pudding, and two types of chocolate drizzle, you just can't go wrong.





Chocolate Cake
Ingredients:
1 box devil's food cake mix
1 (5.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
1 cup sour cream
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
½ cup warm water
1½ cups mini semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:
1. In a large bowl, mix together the cake, pudding mix, sour cream, oil, eggs, and water. Stir in the chocolate chips and pour batter into a well-greased bundt pan.
2. Bake at 350° for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool cake thoroughly in pan at least an hour before inverting onto a plate. Cool cake thoroughly before drizzling with glaze.
Recipe adapted from allrecipes.com.
* The cake is pretty forgiving. I've used plain yogurt instead of sour cream, different amounts of pudding mix, and milk chocolate and semisweet regular-sized chips.


Chocolate Glaze
Ingredients:
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3 Tbs butter
2 Tbs light corn syrup
1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:
1. Melt chocolate chips, butter, and corn syrup in the microwave at 50% power for 30 seconds. Stir. Continue melting for 30 second intervals until chips are melted and mixture is smooth.
2. Add vanilla and stir until combined.
3. Drizzle warm glaze over top of cooled cake.


White Chocolate Glaze
Ingredients:
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
2 Tbs butter

3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 Tbs milk

Directions:
1. Melt white chocolate chips and butter in the microwave at 50% power for 30 seconds. Stir. Continue melting for 30 second intervals until chips are melted and mixture is smooth.
2. Gradually beat in the confectioners' sugar and milk.
3. Drizzle warm glaze over top of cooled cake.
