Instructions
-
Prepare the Dry Ingredients: Begin by sifting together the cake mix and instant chocolate pudding mix in a large mixing bowl to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
-
Combine Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center of the sifted dry mixture. Add in the water, eggs, and sour cream.
-
Mix Thoroughly: Using a mixer, beat the mixture well until fully combined. Then, gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula to avoid breaking them.
-
Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into a greased bundt pan, ensuring it is evenly spread. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 55 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Cool the Cake: Once baked, allow the cake to cool on a wire rack in the pan for about 10 minutes. This step is crucial as it allows the cake to pull away slightly from the sides, making it easier to invert.
-
Invert and Finish Cooling: Carefully invert the cake onto a plate to finish cooling completely.
-
Enjoy with a Twist: For a delightful treat, serve your Chocolate Chip Pound Cake with a scoop of cherry chocolate chip ice cream. If you’re looking for a lighter version, you can use reduced-fat sour cream, but be mindful that substituting yogurt may alter the cake’s richness.
This Chocolate Chip Pound Cake is not just a dessert; it’s a comforting indulgence perfect for any gathering or simply as a sweet treat at home. Enjoy the rich flavors and share with friends and family for a truly delightful experience!
