Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 package chocolate instant pudding mix
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- 6 oz chocolate chips (for folding in)
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
For the Glaze:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
1. Prepare the Cake Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, blend together the instant vanilla pudding mix, chocolate instant pudding mix, eggs, water, and softened butter until smooth and well combined.
- Gradually fold in 6 oz of chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
2. Bake the Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a Bundt pan or spray it with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy release.
- Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to level it.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
3. Cool and Glaze the Cake:
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, prepare the glaze. In a medium bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and butter. Gradually add milk, stirring until the glaze reaches a smooth and pourable consistency.
- Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top, allowing it to cascade down the sides for a beautiful finish.
Serving Suggestion
Slice the cake into generous portions and serve as a delightful dessert for gatherings or a special treat to enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea. Each slice delivers a rich, chocolatey experience that’s sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.
