Just recently I celebrated my <28th!> birthday! I know that every year, if I want a birthday dessert it is up to me to make it. My husband doesn’t even care for cake, but the boys and I love it and will find any reason to make it. For birthday parties, I tend to make cupcakes because I think they are easier. But my oldest son always begs for a “real” cake and, of course, wants chocolate. So this year, I found a simple yet delicious recipe for Chocolate Pudding Cake. It isn’t made from scratch but instead adds a few extra steps to a boxed cake mix. I also just opted to get the can frosting from the store instead of homemade. I really prefer homemade frosting but figured since it was just for me and the boys AND the fact that the weather is SO COLD and I would have to leave the house to buy extra ingredients, I would just go with the old stand by in a can. What ever you like will work! This cake is rich and delicious and perfectly decorated with a few rainbow colored sprinkles.
Ingredients
- 1 box DEVILS FOOD CAKE
- 1 small package CHOCOLATE PUDDING
- 1/4 cup WATER
- 1/3 cup OIL
- 1 cup SOUR CREAM
- 4 EGG WHITES
- CHOCOLATE FROSTING
- 1/2 cup MINI CHOCOLATE CHIPS
- SPRINKLES
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix together the cake mix and chocolate pudding. Add water and oil. Finally, add in sour cream and egg whites. Mix well until all ingredients are mixed in and batter becomes thick.
- Divide evenly into 2 (8-9 inch) cake pans that have been generously sprayed with baking spray. Bake according to the directions on the back of the box. Let cool completely.
- Place bottom layer onto a cake stand, spread with your favorite chocolate frosting and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Place top layer of cake on top of chocolate chips. Frost remaining top and sides of cake with frosting. Add sprinkles and ENJOY!!!
