Ingredients

  • 1 box Devil's Food Cake Mix (15.25 oz)
  • 3.8 oz instant chocolate pudding mix (110 grams)
  • 4 large eggs, bring to room temperature
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil, I use grapeseed but any should work
  • ½ cup warm water
  • ½ cup sour cream, slightly generous one (130 grams)
  • cup miniature chocolate chips

Ganache Glaze

  • 3 oz dark chocolate, chopped
  • ½ tablespoon butter, room temperature
  • ½ tablespoon corn syrup
  • cup heavy cream, plus a little more if you want it thinner

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 10 inch Bundt pan with flour-added baking spray or just grease and flour using your favorite greasing method.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix and pudding mix and stir well. Make a hole in the middle of the powder mixture and add the eggs. Whisk them all together, then add the oil, water, and sour cream.
  • Stir and then beat with an electric mixer, scraping the side of the bowl, just until blended. Add the chocolate chips and stir until evenly distributed.
  • Spread mixture evenly in the pan and run a knife through it to remove air bubbles. Bake for about 40-45 minutes, then test with a cake skewer or toothpick (pick should come out clean) to see if it is done.
  • Let the cake cool for about 15 minutes, then carefully loosen around the edges with a knife and turn cake from pan.
  • To make the glaze, combine the chopped chocolate, butter, and corn syrup in a small bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan. Remove from heat and add the chocolate mixture to the cream. Stir until smooth. Alternatively, you can heat the cream in a microwave-safe Pyrex 2 cup measure, then add the chocolate mixture to the hot cream. Stir until smooth, then drizzle over the cake. Store at room temperature.
