Description
This rich, moist Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake is filled with mini chocolate chips and topped with a luscious chocolate ganache glaze, making every bite a heavenly indulgence.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 ounces for base cake)
- 1 box instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 ounces adds moisture and richness)
- 3/4 cup sour cream (adds creaminess and moisture)
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil (helps the cake stay moist)
- 3 large eggs (lightly beaten for structure)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (adds flavor)
- 1/2 cup warm water (helps incorporate dry ingredients)
- 2 cups mini chocolate chips (for that extra burst of chocolate)
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (melt for smooth glaze)
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (for a rich creamy texture)
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (adds flavor to glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and coat a 10- or 12-cup bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and warm water. Beat on medium speed for about two minutes until smooth and well combined.
- Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread it evenly.
- Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top of the cake springs back when touched. Once done, let the cake cool in the pan for 30 minutes before transferring it to a plate or cake stand.
- For the glaze: In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until hot but not boiling.
- Place the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl, then pour the hot cream over the chocolate. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before whisking until smooth. Whisk in vanilla extract and allow the glaze to cool for 5-10 minutes, until thickened but still pourable.
- Pour the glaze over the cooled bundt cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
