Yesterday, Feb. 6th was my beautiful daughter, Mysti's, 30th birthday!! On Tues. when I was at her house babysitting, I made her an early birthday dinner with one of her favorite meals: roast beef, mashed potatoes, and noodles with brown gravy. She was also wanting a vary chocolate cake. I found this recipe for a "Too Much Chocolate" Cake, which I thought sounded perfect for a chocoholic, then I added my favorite Easy Chocolate Frosting. She loved it!! So after posting a pic of the cake on Facebook and everyone admiring it, I thought I'd post the recipes on here. So here goes!! I hope you try it!! And if you do, please let me know what you thought about it, Please???
"Too Much Chocolate" Cake
Serves 12
1- Devil's Food Chocolate Cake Mix 4 eggs, slightly beaten
1- Box of Chocolate Pudding Mix 1/2 cup warm water
1 cup sour cream 1 cup veg. oil
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350° and grease a 12 cup Bundt pan well. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat together everything EXCEPT the chocolate chips. Beat until smooth, then fold in the chips and pour evenly into the greased Bundt pan.
Bake for 50-55 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched and it tests done when poked with a toothpick. You will probably have some chocolate from the melted chips on the toothpick, but
not cake batter. Let cool on wire rack IN THE PAN for 1 1/2 hours before removing from the pan.
Invert the pan on a plate and shake gently and the cake should slide right out! You can leave the cake plain, sprinkle it with confectioner's sugar or frost.
Here is the Chocolate Frosting I used to make it the ultimate chocolate lover's cake!!
Easy Chocolate Frosting
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1/4 cup butter, or margarine
6 tablespoons milk
2 cups confectioners' sugar
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate chips and butter, stirring constantly.
Beat in milk and confectioners' sugar alternately. Beat until smooth. Spread over cake.
Will frost a 9x13 inch cake.
I cut this recipe in half and use it to frost a Boston Creme Pie!
I sprinkled some mini choclate chips on top for decoration.
