Long day. I arrived home at 9:45 pm and had to make a cake for tomorrow. So I made this standard which everyone in our family loves, even though it is just an alteration of a standard cake mix. Try it!
Mint Chocolate Cake
1 package devil’s food cake mix. (No pudding in the mix.)
1 (4 oz) package chocolate pudding mix. (Not instant.)
1/2 C. vegetable oil
1 cup water
1 cup sour half and half
4 eggs (egg substitute may be used for half the eggs)
5 oz mint chocolate chips.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a bundt pan very thoroughly.
Mix together cake mix, pudding, oil, water, sour cream and eggs. Beat until mixture is smooth. Stir in chocolate chips.
Pour into greased and floured pan and bake 55 – 60 minutes. Test for doneness with a toothpick. Some judgment is required, since the toothpick will often look gooey because of the melted chocolate.
Remove cake from oven and let cool for about 10 minutes. Turn out onto a serving plate. When cake is cool dust with powdered sugar. This cake is so rich that icing is overkill.
