This moist and tender cake is perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a birthday celebration or a simple dessert to enjoy after a long day. Get ready to experience a burst of chocolaty goodness in every bite!
Easy and Delicious
Making this cake is a breeze! It’s a doctored cake mix recipe that ensures a foolproof outcome. If you’re not a fan of cake mix, this may not be your go-to recipe. However, if you’re open to trying something new, I highly recommend giving it a shot. The combination of Devil’s Food Cake Mix, instant chocolate pudding, sour cream, milk, vegetable oil, water, eggs, and chocolate chips creates a batter that is out of this world. Once baked in a bundt pan, the cake is topped with a simple yet irresistible chocolate glaze.
Mastering the Cake Mix
When it comes to using cake mix, make sure you choose one without added pudding. Otherwise, the cake will become overly moist. Stick to regular cake mix and add a box of chocolate pudding to achieve the perfect texture and taste.
Enhancing the Experience
This cake is incredibly rich and bursting with chocolate flavor. Since it already has pudding bits in every slice, it pairs beautifully with a dollop of fresh whipped cream or a scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream. And you know what? It’s more than delicious enough to enjoy on its own! However you choose to serve it, get ready for a delightful treat that will leave you wanting more.

Recipe Details
Ingredients
CAKE:
- One 15.25-ounce box Devil’s Food Cake Mix (without pudding)
- One 3.9-ounce box Instant Chocolate Pudding
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup water
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
GLAZE:
- 6 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
PREPARE THE CAKE:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a bundt cake pan.
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, milk, oil, water, and eggs. Beat for about 4 minutes, then stir in the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool for about 15 minutes in the pan, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
ADD THE GLAZE:
- Once the cake has cooled, prepare the glaze. In a medium bowl, microwave the butter and chocolate chips for 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk together until smooth, then drizzle the glaze over the cake. Add sprinkles if desired, before the glaze starts to harden.
Notes
- For best results, use full-fat sour cream and whole milk.
- Consider using a special “baking” spray that includes vegetable oil and flour to easily grease the pan.
- If you don’t have a microwave, heat the glaze in a small saucepan instead.
