Ingredients

Cake

  • 1 box vanilla cake mix or white cake mix
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 large box vanilla pudding mix
  • 8 oz. chocolate chips

Chocolate Ganache

  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  • Use room temperature eggs, sour cream for a smoother cake batter, and even baking. Cold ingredients can cause the batter to clump or bake unevenly. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • Use a large bowl to combine ingredients and mix at medium speed.
  • Add the chocolate chips to the batter. I use a spatula at this time to mix and scrape the mix.
  • Use nonstick spray, baking spray, or butter and flour to coat your bundt cake pan. Pay special attention to the curves and ridges, which are where sticking often happens.
  • After mixing, pour the batter into a prepared bundt pan. Tap the pan gently to release air bubbles, which helps avoid large holes in the finished cake.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Every oven is different so cooking time may vary. Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for about 10–15 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely. This helps maintain that beautiful bundt shape.
  • After your cake cools, you can go simple or fancy. Try a simple chocolate ganache with a little chocolate chip and butter, by warming in the microwave or under a double boiler until melted, or dust powdered sugar on top, which is super easy.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream, which is my favorite!

Notes

 To keep your bundt cake fresh: Wrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days
