Double Chocolate Cake with Fudge Sauce

Reviewed by Julie Twitchell

This recipe is from Jamie Cooks It Up. It is really yummy. I made it for book club this week. You should give it a try. I think next time, I will do half as much chocolate chips or try the mini chips. My chips kind of all melted together while baking. But boy, it was delicious!

Cake

• 1 Devil's Food cake mix
• 1 small pkg. instant chocolate pudding
• 1/3 Cup flour
• 1/3 Cup oil
• 1 1/2 Cup water
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1/3 Cup sour cream
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 Cup semi sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 Cup milk chocolate chips

1. In a large mixing bowl, or in your stand mixer, add the cake mix, pudding and flour. Stir it all around to combine.


2. Add all other cake ingredients, except the chocolate chips. Mix on low for about 1 minute. Then mix on medium speed until the batter is nice and smooth. This should take about 2 minutes.


3. Spray a bundt pan generously with cooking spray. Pour batter into the pan. Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the cake batter.


4. Bake at 350 for 50-55 minutes.

Fudge sauce

• 2 TB unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 TB cornstarch
• 1 Cup sugar
• 1 can evaporated milk
• 2 TB butter(divided)
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• dash of salt

1. In the bottom of a medium sauce pan, combine the cocoa, cornstarch and sugar.


2. Pour the can of milk over the top of the dry ingredients. Add the vanilla, salt and only 1 TB of the butter.


3. Stir mixture over medium heat. After it comes to a boil, cook for 3 more minutes while stirring. The sauce should thicken as it boils.


4. Remove it from the heat and add the remaining butter. Stir the butter around until incorporated. Let it sit for about 10 minutes before pouring it on the cake.
