Oh, Chocolate! (An Ode to Cake)

Posted by Courtney at 6:12 PM

We decided to make the cake. Not a cake, THE cake.
The ULTIMATE Chocolate Cake of Awesome! (After "Muffins of Merriment +8" we thought that a chocolate cake would be, well, a piece of... itself?) Anyhow, here is the result:

Ingredients

  • 1 (18.25 ounce) package devil's food cake mix
  • 2 (3.9 ounce) packages of instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cup milk

  • 2 tablespoons butter (Glaze)
  • 1 can or fudge frosting (Glaze)
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (Glaze)
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, heavy cream, milk, butter, water and eggs. Beat for 4 minutes, then mix in 2 cups chocolate chips.
  3. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
  4. To make the glaze: Melt the butter, 1 cup chocolate chips, and the fudge frosting together in a small sauce pan over med-low heat. Stir until smooth and drizzle over cake.
