Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cake

I had heard over and over again how amazing Nothing Bundt Cakes was and not long ago we made a stop and got a sample pack to try.  It certainly did not disappoint but I was not loving the price tag!

I had to bring dessert to our small group a few weeks ago and knew I wanted to bring some kind of bundt cake as I have a bundt pan that is so pretty and presentable I love to use it.

I scoured the internet for a chocolate chip bundt cake recipe and came across this one that was a Nothing Bundt Cakes Chocolate Chocolate Chip replica.  It was amazing and just as moist and perfect as the original!

I found the recipe at Favorite Family Recipes, it was super easy which is a must for me and like I said was delicious!!

Ingredients:

• 1 pkg. devils food cake, German chocolate cake, or chocolate cake mix
• 1 pkg. instant chocolate pudding
• 1 c. sour cream
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 c. water
• 1/2 c. oil
• 1 1/2 c. mini chocolate chips
• 2 (8 ounce) pkgs. cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 c. butter, softened
• 3-4 c. powdered sugar
• 2 tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:

1.   Mix first six ingredients together with a beater. Add chocolate chips. Pour into a greased bunt cake pan (cooking spray works best). Cook in oven at 350 degrees for 45-50 mins. Remove from oven. Let cool for 20 mins. Remove from pan. (I think it tastes best if you put it on a serving plate, wrap it well in Saran Wrap, and let it sit overnight in the fridge before frosting and serving..)

2.   In a medium bowl, cream together the cream cheese and butter until creamy. Mix in the vanilla, then gradually stir in the powdered sugar (start with 2 cups then keep adding more until it is nice and thick). That's it!

The icing made so much I actually halved the icing part and still had a TON left over, and this cake was so good that it would be good on its own without the icing if you wanted!  I also did not let mine sit overnight I made it and took it straight to small group and it was so good being that it was still warm!

Heaven on a Cake Stand

Im not even exaggerating when I say this cake is by far the best chocolate cake I have had in my life!!!  It is so easy to make that I think everyone needs to try it! It has coffee in the recipe which at first I was turned off by.  I love me some coffee with lots of cream and sugar but I usually don't like coffee flavored desserts well, if you didn't know it was there you would never know there was coffee in this cake!
