Death By Chocolate Cake

Because James had to work ALL day again yesterday, I decided to surprise him with a nice chocolate cake. Of course, the cake did double duty since I've been having major chocolate cravings (typical for me at this time if you know what I mean). It turned out so moist and yummy. When he finally came home at 2:00 after calling me a dozen times from work to say "just another half hour . . .", I presented him with a piece of cake and a cup of tea. You can find the recipe below.

Ingredients:
4 Eggs
1 c Sour cream
1/2 c Water
1/2 c Oil
1 pk Chocolate cake mix
1 pk Chocolate instant pudding
12 oz Semisweet chocolate chips
Confectioner's sugar (but I used icing instead!)

Directions:
Beat eggs, sour cream, water,and oil together in a large bowl until thoroughly mixed. Add cake mix and pudding mix. Beat until smooth. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour into Bundt or tube pan and bake at 350 F for 1 hour. When cool, sift powdered sugar on top of cake or spread icing if you prefer. Variation: Replace 1/4 cup water with Grand Marnier.

Oh that looks good! I could definitely find room for a slice in my stomach! I love chocolate cakes with sour cream in them. You think, sour cream? But it tastes awesome!
