Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/3 cups water
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Prepare the pan: Grease and flour a bundt cake pan or a 9x13x2 inch cake pan to prevent sticking.
-
Mix the batter: In a large mixing bowl, empty the contents of the chocolate cake mix. Add in the eggs, water, and mayonnaise.
-
Blend: Mix the ingredients together by hand or with an electric mixer until a smooth batter forms.
-
Add chocolate chips: Gently fold the chocolate chips into the cake batter using a large spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
-
Pour into pan: Transfer the cake batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
-
Bake: Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 35 minutes, or until the cake is fully cooked.
-
Check for doneness: To check if the cake is done, lightly press the center of the cake with your finger. If it springs back, the cake is ready. If not, continue baking for a few more minutes and retest.
-
Cooling (for bundt cake pan): If using a bundt cake pan, allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes before proceeding to the next steps.
-
Invert the cake: Place a dinner plate or cake plate on top of the bundt cake pan, with the bottom of the plate facing you. Carefully hold the pan onto the plate and invert it, allowing the cake to release onto the plate. You may need to shake the pan slightly to help loosen the cake.
-
Cooling (for 9x13x2 inch cake pan): If using a 9x13x2 inch cake pan, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
-
Cool completely: Whether using a bundt cake pan or a regular cake pan, allow the cake to cool completely before frosting or icing.
-
Optional: If desired, frost the cake once it has cooled completely. Alternatively, you can dust the cake with powdered sugar for a simple and elegant finish.
