Cooking with Susie Q (week of March 27, 2019)

5 years ago

I am getting excited to get outside and plant something. Anything. Flowers, vegetables, or fruit. I am looking forward to the lighter meals we fix for summer. The salads, the cold platters, the bread. However, I still have a special place for chocolate and this one for chocolate cake is going to become my new favorite. Have a great week!

Just Enough Chocolate Cake

1 (18.25 ounce) package devil’s food cake mix

1 (5.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix

1 cup sour cream

1 cup vegetable oil

4 eggs

1/2 cup warm water

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, mix together the cake and pudding mixes, sour cream, oil, beaten eggs and water. Stir in the chocolate chips and pour batter into a well greased 12-cup bundt pan.

Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until top is springy to the touch and a wooden toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool cake thoroughly in pan at least an hour and a half before inverting onto a plate If desired, dust the cake with powdered sugar.
