Cavity Maker Chocolate Cake

After tasting this cake for the first time at a friend's birthday party a few weeks ago, I immediately knew I wanted to make it for the blog. It is pretty much a chocolate lover's dream come true, so moist and rich, you will fall in love immediately. And it is super easy to make, too!

My friend Jeni got this recipe from allrecipes.com and only tweaked one ingredient- the original recipe called for coffee-flavored liqueur (Kahlua would be the brand, I think?). Since we don't drink coffee or liqueur, she substituted Sprite. Milk or chocolate milk would also work as a substitution.

 Cavity Maker Chocolate Cake

 

1 (18.25 ounce) package dark chocolate cake mix
1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
3 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sprite
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, eggs, oil and sprite. Beat until ingredients are well blended.

Fold in chocolate chips. Batter will be thick. Spoon into prepared pan.

 

Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, or until cake springs back when lightly tapped. 

 

Cool 10 minutes in pan, then turn out and cool completely on wire rack or plate.

 

 

 

Sprinkle powdered sugar on top of the cake. 

 

I went all out and served this with ice cream and home-made hot fudge, but it is also delicious all by itself!
