Description

The most versatile cake ever—you choose the flavors of the key ingredients to make a one-of-a-kind cake. The beauty is, it can be different every time you make it!

Ingredients

  • 1 box (18.25 Oz. Box) Cake Mix ( You Choose The Flavor)
  • 1 box (3.4 Oz. Box) Instant Pudding (You Choose The Flavor)
  • 1 cup Vegetable Oil
  • ½ cups Warm Water
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • 4 whole Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1-½ cup Baking Chips (You Choose: Milk Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Semi-sweet, Vanilla, Etc.)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a bundt pan (I use Bakers Joy).

In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, oil, water, sour cream and eggs. Mix on low for about 1 minute and then scrape down the sides of the bowl. Mix for another 3 minutes on medium speed. Stir in vanilla. Fold in chips and pour into the prepared pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour. Cool for about 30 minutes and then invert pan onto a serving tray/plate to remove the cake.

This cake is so moist it doesn’t need frosting, but if you love frosting (I do!), wait until cake has completely cooled before frosting. If you use a glaze, do this while the cake is still slightly warm. Also great dusted with powdered sugar, after cake has cooled.

Note: my favorite combo to date is Devil’s Food cake mix, cheesecake pudding mix, half milk chocolate chips and half peanut butter chips, and then I drizzle it with a chocolate glaze. YUM!

Fun concept! It also helps when you have a mish-mosh of items left in your cupboard! Slipped into my recipe box! Thanks
