Ingredients:
- 1 package instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 package vegetarian chocolate pudding mix
- 6 eggs
- 4 cups water
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- Optional: chocolate or mint chips
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan, ensuring every nook and cranny is well-coated to prevent sticking.
-
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and oil. Mix until well combined and smooth.
-
Add the instant chocolate pudding mix, vegetarian chocolate pudding mix, water, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Beat the mixture until everything is thoroughly incorporated and the batter is smooth.
-
If desired, stir in chocolate or mint chips for an extra burst of flavor and texture.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading it evenly to ensure even baking.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Be sure not to overbake; the cake should be springy to the touch.
-
Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for about 20 minutes. This allows the cake to set and makes it easier to remove from the pan.
-
After cooling, invert the cake pan onto a plate to release the cake. Gently tap the bottom of the pan if needed to help loosen it.
-
Once completely cooled, frost the cake with chocolate frosting or dust it with powdered sugar for a simple yet elegant finish.
-
Slice and serve this decadent chocolate Bundt cake to your family and friends, and watch as it disappears within minutes! Enjoy every moist and chocolatey bite.
