3 hrsThree forms of chocolate collide in this ridiculously easy bundt cake.
Chocolate cake mix forms the base, instant chocolate pudding adds moisture and fudgy richness, and chocolate chips melt into pockets of molten chocolate throughout.
The simple cocoa glaze drizzled over the cooled cake adds one more layer of chocolate intensity.
Chef Tips
- Grease thoroughly: Bundt pans have intricate ridges that love to trap cake. Use baking spray with flour or brush every crevice with shortening, then dust with cocoa powder.
- Mix by hand gently: The recipe says beat “by hand” just until blended. Don’t overmix or the cake becomes tough and dense.
- Cool before glazing: Let the cake cool completely (about 2 hours) before drizzling glaze. Warm cake makes glaze run off and pool instead of coating.
- Test for doneness: Insert a toothpick at 50 minutes. A few moist crumbs are fine; wet batter means it needs 5 more minutes.
Variations
- Use white chocolate chips for contrast with the dark chocolate cake
- Add 1 teaspoon espresso powder to cake mix for deeper chocolate flavor
- Top with chopped nuts or chocolate shavings while glaze is still wet
