This cake is my favorite dessert to make.
It is so easy, so yummy, so chocolatey!
I made this for the first time last year for my in laws wedding anniversary- which happened to fall on Thanksgiving.
It was a huge hit, and became the dessert of request for birthdays and get togethers!
Sinful Chocolate Cake
1 package of Devil's food cake mix
1- 5.9 oz package of instant chocolate pudding mix
1 cup sour cream
1 cup canola oil
4 eggs
1/2 cup warm water
1 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips
Ganache frosting:
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together the cake and pudding mixes, sour cream, oil, eggs, and water. Stir in the mini chocolate chips and pour batter into a lightly greased 12 cup bundt pan.
Bake for 50-55 minutes or until top is springy to the touch and a wooden toothpick comes out clean. (don't forget the chocolate chips may leave some melted chocolate on the toothpick....)
Cool cake thoroughly in a pan at least an hour and a half before turning out.
When cake is cool, pour whipping cream into saucepan and heat over medium high heat just until small bubbles form around the edge of the pan- not boiling!
Remove pan from heat and pour in the half cup of chocolate chips. Let sit for 5 minutes without stirring. After 5 minutes, stir chips into cream until smooth. Allow to thicken slightly- 2 minutes. Pour over the top of the cake, and serve when ready!
I promise- if you love chocolate, you will LOVE this cake!!

One final thing I will leave you with today- in September I told you that Extreme Makeover Home Edition was in my city. This Sunday night is the episode that was filmed here! I'm so excited! It's a Halloween themed show, so set your recorders if you're out trick or treating. I can't wait to see it and hopefully see some of my friends that were able to volunteer with the build.
Here's some photos from our local paper with some of the design team and volunteers:
The haunted house is supposedly really scary- I am not a haunted house girl, so I couldn't tell you from personal experience!! (the only one I've been through was the one at Disneyland.....and that was just fine for me.)
I hope you'll watch it!
Have a great weekend and Happy Halloween!
I hope you'll watch it!
