If you love chocolate, this is the cake to make. It starts with a mix, but you would never know it!

WHY YOU WILL LOVE THIS DEVIL’S FOOD CAKE

This is a really easy recipe; it starts with a cake mix, but we take it up a few levels! We add chocolate chips, and they make this cake amazing. Something about bites of chocolate chips, with the cake.. It’s really good. Then we top it with a caramel frosting, and that is incredible. It’s moist and loaded with flavor, and one bite and you are hooked!

SWAPS – PUDDING MIX

We like to make this cake with a mix that includes pudding, but last time we couldn’t find one. So we bought a package of instant chocolate pudding and added it to the mix. The mix did get a little thick, and we thought it might not work, but it did, and we all agreed it turned out just fine. If you can’t find a mix with the pudding included that is an option.. OR.. you could just leave the pudding out, and I think this cake would still be delicious. You can make this cake in a 9X13 as well.

TIP

You don’t have to add the frosting to this recipe but we do feel it is a great addition. You could easily just dust it with powdered sugar. You could also make this cake in a 9 x 13 and pour caramel frosting over the cake but I would double the frosting recipe.

Course Cake

Cuisine American, southern

• 1 box Pillsbury Moist Supreme Devil’s Food cake mix with pudding in the mix
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup oil I used Canola
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup evaporated milk
• 2 cups chocolate chips
• 1 cup nuts optional

One Minute Caramel Frosting

• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup regular sugar
• 1/4 cup evaporated milk
• 1/4 cup butter or margarine
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Empty cake mix into a large bowl, add sour cream, eggs, oil, and milk.  Mix well with mixer.

• Fold in chocolate chips and nuts.  Spray bundt pan with cooking spray.  Add cake mixture to pan. 

• Cook in preheated 350 degree oven for 55 – 60 minutes.  Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan.  Cool completely before adding caramel frosting.

One Minute Caramel Frosting Instructions

• Add all ingredients except vanilla to pan and bring to a boil.  Boil for one minute, remove and add vanilla extract.  

• Beat with a mixer for about 2 minutes and it will begin to thicken as it cools.  Pour onto cake.  I use a small pitcher to pour the frosting on the cake. 

• If it gets too hard to pour, add a little milk until you get the consistency you need.

Note:  You could make this cake in a 9 x 13 and pour caramel frosting over the cake but I would double the frosting recipe. If you can’t find a cake mix with the pudding in the mix you can add a 3.2 ounce box of INSTANT chocolate pudding. The mix will get kind of thick but the last time we made it we did this and it worked fine. I do think it would be fine without the pudding too.
