Rich & Moist Dark Chocolate Cake (Uses Cake Mix)
By: BlondieItaliana
Feb 20, 2008
This is a decadent and rich moist dark chocolate cake recipe, but it's quick & easy as a boxed cake mix is used. You can make this simple in a bundt pan & serve without frosting with just a dusting of confectioners sugar... or you can prepare it our favorite way by making it into a delicious layer cake using canned or homemade dark chocolate frosting... This is my hubby's favorite that I make for him on Valentine's Day and his Birthday every year...
SERVES 8 -12 , 1 cake
Ingredients
- 1 (18 1/4 ounce) box dark chocolate cake mix (Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons sour cream (heaping tablespoons)
- 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
- cooking spray (Bakers Joy works best)
- 1 (18 ounce) can ready to spread dark chocolate frosting (optional)
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray two 8" pans with cooking spray (or spray bundt pan).2
Blend together cake mix, oil, water, eggs, and sour cream in large bowl on low speed for 1 minute then medium high speed for 2 minutes.3
Stir in chocolate chips by hand then pour batter evenly into pans.4
Bake for 30-35 minutes (or 40 minutes for bundt pan) until done. Remove from oven & let cool in pans on wire rack for 15 minutes before removing from pans.5
Cool completely before frosting.

So unbelievably easy and sinfully delicious! I made it in the bundt pan, & dusted with confectioner's sugar. I used semi-sweet chocolate chips since that was all I had on hand. But Wow! Will make this again!

Holy Terrific!!!!!!! This cake was absolutely as described, RICH & MOIST. I only used frosting as decor as I thiught it might have been too much and didn't want to take from the flavor of the cake. This is really one of the best dark chocolate cakes I have ever made. The whole family loved it! Blondie, you are one of my favorite chefs so keep the recipes coming PLEASE!! This cake is a keeper!!!! TY for posting!!

This is just what the recipe name and description say it is: rich and moist. It's just delicious and will be gone in no time. The only thing I did differently is make it in a 9x13-inch baking pan and baked it for about 30 minutes. I made this for Spring PAC 2008.

This and Kittencals cake are my favorites in the world. This one I'm more partial to because it's simple & tastes like you spent days on it. It really is incredible & moist. The chips melt & aren't hard so to take away from the cake part, truly deeeelish!
