A rich, moist Chocolate Pudding Bundt Cake combining a devil’s food cake mix with instant chocolate pudding for a tender crumb and bursts of chocolate chips, optionally served with a luscious chocolate sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 box (15.25 ounces) devil’s food cake mix
  • 1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup water
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • For the Chocolate Sauce (optional):
  • 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 10-inch bundt pan with baking spray and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the cake mix and chocolate pudding mix.
  3. Add the sour cream, oil, water, and eggs. Combine with an electric hand mixer until the mixture is thick and well blended.
  4. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and gently smooth it out.
  6. Bake for 50-55 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the cake to cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. For the chocolate sauce, place the chocolate chips, heavy cream, and corn syrup in a medium-sized saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow to cool slightly.
  9. Slice the cake and serve with the chocolate sauce drizzled over each portion.

Notes

  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • Freeze the cooled cake tightly wrapped for up to 3 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
  • Warm individual slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to refresh.
  • Substitute sour cream with plain Greek yogurt if needed.
  • Ensure thorough greasing and flouring of the bundt pan to prevent sticking.
  • Optional chocolate sauce adds richness but is not required.
