Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box devil’s food cake mix
  • 1 package 4-serving instant chocolate pudding
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 12 ounces mini chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare one tube pan or two 9" x 5" loaf pans with flour, non-stick cooking spray and parchment paper.
  • Beat all ingredients, except the chocolate chips, on high for 3 minutes.
  • Fold in the chips.
  • Pour the batter in the pan(s) and bake till a toothpick or cake tester tests clean (about 60 minutes for the tube cake, 45 minutes for the loaves).
  • Cool in pans on a wire rack for 25 minutes for the tube cake, 10 for the loaves. Remove from the pan(s) and cool completely on the rack.

Notes

I always double this recipe. If you don't have a heavy duty stand mixer, you'll need to make one batch at a time. Just wipe out the mixer bowl between batches.
