This evening Russ and I went over to my dad’s house to celebrate his birthday with him. I found a great recipe on AllRecipes.com called Chocolate Lover’s Favorite Cake this morning, and decided to try it. It was so simple to do, seeing that you used boxed cake mix, but it turned out beautiful!
- 1 (18.25 ounce) package devil’s food cake mix
- 1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups sour cream
- 1 cup melted butter
- 5 eggs
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10 inch Bundt pan.
- In a large bowl, stir together cake mix and pudding mix. Make a well in the center and pour in sour cream, melted butter, eggs and almond extract. Beat on low speed until blended. Scrape bowl, and beat 4 minutes on medium speed. Blend in chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
The cake was magnificent. It was so incredibly rich, and very moist. The strawberries were nice alongside it to balance out all the rich chocolate flavor. I used vanilla extract instead of almond, and instead of just greasing the pan before hand, I lightly dusted it with flour, to ensure that it came out easily. It turned out perfect!! For a glaze I melted 3/4 cup chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons butter, and 1 tablespoon corn syrup. Definately try this recipe, it is delicious and easy!

That looks devine!
It’s so unfair to show pictures like that to pregnant women though
I’m going to have to stop going online because of the temptation to bake. And worse the temptation to eat
