Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake

Here's the recipe for the chocolate chip bundt cake! It's actually a spin-off on a chocolate-vanilla swirl bundt cake I got from my friend's mom years and years ago. I make this cake all the time! The other day, I was set to make it but I picked up the wrong flavor of cake mix. I had some chocolate chips in the pantry, so substituted here and there and the chocolate chip bundt cake was born! It was delicious...as you can see, the kids approve, even when it's unbaked! :)

Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake

- 1 box of chocolate cake mix
- 1 small box of instant chocolate pudding
- 1 small container of sour cream (I always used reduced-fat, because this is a low-fat recipe...HA!)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/4 cups of water
- 1 cup of chocolate chips (the "mini" ones work really well)
- Powdered sugar for the top (optional)

1. Grease or spray your bundt pan well. Preheat oven to 350.
2. In a large bowl or mixer, blend first 5 ingredients well.
3. Fold in chocolate chips.
4. Pour into greased bundt pan and bake about 45 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. If you see the top getting too done, just cover it with a piece of foil for the remainder of the baking process.
5. When cool, turn cake out onto a plate, dust with powdered sugar or serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream!!!
