Ingredients
- 1 box dark chocolate cake mix
- 1 3.9-ounce package instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 4 eggs
- 0.5 cup warm water
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x13-inch baking dish or two 9-inch round cake pans.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix and instant chocolate pudding mix.
Step 3
Add the sour cream, vegetable oil, eggs, and warm water to the dry mixture. Use an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer to blend the ingredients on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until a smooth batter forms.
Step 4
Fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips gently into the batter using a spatula.
Step 5
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish or cake pans.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes if using a 9x13-inch dish, or 30-35 minutes for 9-inch round pans. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Step 7
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan(s) for 15 minutes. Then transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or frosting.
