Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cake Recipe

I made this cake for our first Thanksgiving gathering tomorrow ... really good!



CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHIP CAKE


1 18.25-oz package chocolate cake mix
1 3.9-oz package instant chocolate pudding mix
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1/2 cup hot water
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a bundt pan.


2. Combine cake mix, pudding mix, oil, eggs, hot water, sour cream and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Stir in 1/2 of the chocolate chips. Pour batter into bundt pan. Top with rest of chocolate chips.


3. Bake for 1 hour. Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then invert cake onto wire rack and let cool completely.

And then, for the glaze, I do this:

CHOCOLATE GLAZE

4 oz milk chocolate chips
3 tbsp butter
1 tbsp milk
1 tbsp light corn syrup
1/4 tsp vanilla

In small, heavy saucepan or microwave oven on medium, melt chocolate chips with butter. Stir frequently until smooth. Remove from heat. Stir in milk, syrup and vanilla. When glaze is cool, pour onto cake. Let glaze run down sides. Chill about 10 minutes to set glaze.
