Yes, the "best" in the universe, and that is not an understatement. Just look at the picture above as proof of its unyielding powers of chocolate seduction. Even my chocolate hating husband has eaten three pieces today, and all three were for breakfast. It is a very dense cake and super moist. I got the recipe from a Betty Crocker cake recipe booklet, but unfortunately Ahnnie ripped off the cover awhile ago, and it hasn't been recovered.
- 1 box chocolate fudge cake mix
- 1/2 cup chocolate milk
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 3 eggs
- 1 container sour cream (16 oz)
- 1 box chocolate instant pudding (4 serving size)
- 1 bag semisweet chocolate chips (12 oz)
Glaze:
- 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1 1/2 teaspoons water
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 12 cups fluted tube cake pan with baking spray. (Be generous so it doesn't stick) In large bowl combine cake mix, chocolate milk, butter, eggs, sour cream, and dry pudding and mix with spoon until well blended. It will be very thick! Stir in bag of chocolate chips. Spoon into pan.
2. Bake 55 to 65 minutes or until top springs back when touched lightly in center. (It will also look wet, but be dry to the touch when done) Cool in pan 10 mins. Place on cooling rake or heatproof plate, turn pan over and remove pan. Cool completely.
3. In 1 quart saucepan, heat glaze ingredients over low, stirring frequently until chips are melted and mixture is smooth. Drizzle over cake and store loosely at room temperature.
REALITY: I would definitely RECOMMEND this recipe to anyone who is a chocolate lover. It was very easy to make and a huge hit with the whole family. Mom and dad were here to help us eat it. But now that they are gone, who will help eat the rest?
