Cake Ingredients

  • 1 box Chocolate cake mix Base flavor
  • 1 box Instant chocolate pudding mix Moisture and richness
  • 3 large Eggs Binding agent
  • 1 cup Sour cream Adds moisture and tang
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable oil Tenderness
  • 1 cup Water For mixing
  • 1 cup Chocolate chips (optional) Enhanced chocolate flavor
  • 1 cup Powdered sugar For dusting

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix and instant chocolate pudding mix.
  • Add the eggs, sour cream, vegetable oil, and water into the bowl, mixing until smooth.
  • If desired, fold in chocolate chips for extra flavor.

Baking

  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center.
  • Once baked, allow the cake to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar and serving.

Notes

For variations, consider adding peanut butter chips, nuts, or fruit fillings. Check cake towards lower end of baking time to avoid overbaking. Store properly to maintain freshness.
