Ingredients
Scale
Cake Base:
- 1 box Devil’s Food Cake Mix
- 1 box (3.9 ounces / 110 grams) Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix
- 5 eggs
- 3/4 cup (180 milliliters) oil
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) sour cream or buttermilk
Liquid and Flavor Enhancers:
- 3/4 cup (180 milliliters) brewed coffee
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate Components:
- 2 cups (340 grams) Nestle Toll House chocolate chips
Instructions
- Thoroughly combine the dry cake and pudding mixes in a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Whisk together the liquid components – eggs, vanilla extract, vegetable oil, cultured dairy, and robust coffee – until the mixture appears smooth and fully integrated.
- Gently incorporate chocolate chips into the liquid mixture, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Liberally coat the bundt pan with cooking spray or butter to prevent potential sticking.
- Transfer the velvety batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it uniformly with a silicone spatula.
- Position the pan in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C), allowing the cake to bake for approximately 45-50 minutes.
- Verify doneness by inserting a clean toothpick into the cake’s center – it should emerge without any raw batter clinging to it.
- Remove from oven and allow the cake to rest within the pan for 10 minutes, enabling it to set and cool slightly.
- Carefully invert the cake onto a decorative serving plate, allowing it to release completely from the pan.
- Serve warm, accompanied by a generous scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast in temperatures and textures.
Notes
- Opt for high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips to elevate the cake’s rich flavor profile.
- Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for smoother mixing and more consistent texture.
- Swap sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter, tangier variation that reduces overall fat content.
- Use decaf coffee if serving to children or sensitive individuals, maintaining the deep chocolate essence without caffeine.
