Devil's Food Cake Mix Doctored Up

By srumbel

I’ve found an easy way to make a boxed chocolate cake mix turn into a homemade tasting rich cake! It started with an inexpensive devil’s food cake mix from my local Aldi’s store, and I grabbed it from my pantry one evening to make for my family’s “Friday dessert night” treat, but it just didn’t seem special enough. As I was mulling over how to fancy it up, I looked on the back of the box and saw this alternative recipe:

from joyfulhomemaking.com

Ingredients

• then stir in by hand:
• One 16.5 ounce devil’s food cake mix
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup of sour cream
• 3/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• One 3.9 ounce package chocolate instant pudding/pie filling
• After combining all these ingredients, and mixing them with the mixer,
• 3/4 cup chocolate chips

Preparation

Step 1

After combining all these ingredients, and mixing them with the mixer,
then stir in by hand:
3/4 cup chocolate chips
After pouring into a greased and floured 10 inch tube pan bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 50-60 minutes.
(If you use a different pan, see the back of the box picture for cooking times).

Cool in the pan for a few minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack or towel. When it’s completely cool, it’s ready to serve.

This cake didn’t need any frosting because it was so moist, rich and chocolatey!
Hope you enjoy!
