Darn Good Chocolate Cake p36
This cake consists of a devil's food cake mix, chocolate pudding, sour cream and chocolate chips. WOW. Can you say RICH? To start with, the batter alone is worth skipping the baking and just licking the bowl. The batter is thick, creamy and a promise of things to come. Baked in a bundt, this cake comes out MOIST MOIST MOIST and very rich. You can actually see the glistening moistness in the photo and the chocolate chips suspended in the cake. The recipe doesn't call for a frosting. The cake stands fine alone without one but my graveyard shift guinea pigs' opinion was that it would benefit from a light frosting, one that would not compete with the richness of the cake. Cool Whip and ice cream were suggested. A chocolate ganache drizzled over the top would also complement this cake if you're wanting to die a chocolate-induced death. Regular cake folks will like this cake, true chocolate lovers will swoon.
Rating: 5 out of a possible 5 guinea pigs
