My daughter Courtney is getting married this Tuesday and family members are starting to arrive for the wedding.  My mom and dad arrived yesterday so I made them some food knowing that it might be the only time I have to do that while they are here.  I made them “Slow Cooker Italian Spaghetti Sauce”, “Easy Homemade Rolls” and this delicious and easy cake from one of my favorite blogs, “Six Sister’s Stuff”.

cake:

1 package Devil’s Food chocolate cake mix

1 (3.9 oz) box instant chocolate pudding mix

1 cup sour cream

1 cup oil

4 eggs

1/2 cup warm water

1 cup milk chocolate chips (I think next time I make this I will add more chips, 1 1/2 – 2 cups)

1  Preheat oven to 350.

2  Mix together cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, oil, eggs and water, then stir in chocolate chips.  Pour batter into bundt pan sprayed with nonstick cooking spray (I use Pam for Baking).

3  Bake 45 – 50 minutes or until top is springy to the touch and a wooden toothpick inserted comes out clean.  Cool cake thoroughly in pan for about 90 minutes (I only did about 30 and it was fine) before inverting onto a plate.  Dust with powdered sugar or top with frosting (see recipe below).

frosting:

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/4 cup milk

1 – 2 teaspoons vanilla

3 tablespoons cocoa

2 – 3 cups powdered sugar (I used 2)

Mix all ingredients together and either spread or pipe on top of cooled cake.  (I tried to copy their picture so I put the frosting in a large Ziploc bag and piped the frosting in large loops back and forth around the cake.)
