Ultimate Chocolate Celebration Cake Recipe

Step 1

To kick off the baking fun, preheat your oven to a toasty 350 degrees Fahrenheit (that's around 175 degrees Celsius for the global bakers out there). Don't forget to give some love to your 9-inch fluted tube cake pan by greasing and flouring it generously.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, let the cake mix and pudding mix mingle together with the help of an electric mixer. Toss in the sour cream, vegetable oil, and water, and give it all a good mix. Crack those eggs one by one, making sure to beat them well each time. Toss in those delightful chocolate chips and give it a final stir before pouring the batter into your prepared pan.

Step 3

Pop that pan into your preheated oven and let it work its magic for around 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once it's done, let it cool for 10 minutes before transferring it onto a cake plate. Give it some more time to cool completely, about 20 to 30 minutes should do the trick.

Step 4

For the finishing touch, pop open that container of frosting and give it a quick stint in the microwave on medium heat, stirring every 30 seconds until it's just the right consistency for drizzling. Let that luscious frosting cascade over your cake, and sprinkle some candy-coated milk chocolate pieces on top for that extra sweet touch. Enjoy your masterpiece!
