Time 1h40m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (18.25 ounce) package devil's food cake mix
1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
1 cup sour cream
¾ cup vegetable oil
¾ cup water
4 eggs
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 (16 ounce) package prepared chocolate frosting
2 tablespoons candy-coated milk chocolate pieces (such as M&M's®), or as desired

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch fluted tube cake pan (such as Bundt®).
  • Combine cake mix and pudding mix in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer. Add sour cream, vegetable oil, and water; mix well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes. Transfer to a cake plate and let cool completely, 20 to 30 minutes more.
  • Place opened frosting container in a microwave on medium heat, stirring every 30 seconds until just soft enough to pour. Drizzle frosting over cake and sprinkle candy-coated milk chocolate pieces on top.

This cake was a little too dry for my taste, but the frosting was delicious. I would make this cake again, but I would use a different cake recipe.

This cake was a disaster! It was dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too sweet. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
