Ingredients
- 1 box devil's food cake mix
- 1 small box Jello instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 4 eggs, beaten
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups mini chocolate chips (or peanut butter cups, chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a very large bowl, mix together everything except chocolate chips. Batter will be thick. Then stir in the chocolate chips.
- Pour batter into cake pan of choice (I normally use two 9-inch round pans). For cooking time, I use the cooking times on the back of the cake box as a guide. Then I do the toothpick check, and if it's not done, I check on it every 5 mins after that. It usually takes around 45 mins for two, 9-inch round pans.
- Frost with Buttercream Frosting. Recipe follows.
