Rich & Moist Dark Chocolate Cake (Uses Cake Mix)

Recipe #287338 | 40 min | 5 min prep | add private note

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 (change servings and units)

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!
