Triple Chocolate Cake

Triple Chocolate Cake is dark, Moist, dense in a really good way. This recipe is quick and easy to make. It only has 5 ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 1 package chocolate cake mix preferably Duncan Hines
  • 1 small package chocolate instant pudding mix chocolate fudge is excellent too.
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 12 oz chocolate chips or 2 cups chopped chocolate, bittersweet, semi, even milk

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350°
  2. Grease, flour, or spray with baking spray a 12 cup Bundt pan. You can use 2 layer cake pans or 1 13 X 9 pan.
  3. In a large bowl, stir together the cake mix and the pudding mix.
  4. Add the milk and the eggs. Beat with a whisk or large spoon until the batter is well mixed, about 4 minutes.
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate, beating well to combine and make sure there are no lumps. I find if you add the chips after the main batter, the batter combines easier. My brother just dumps it all together, and his is just as good.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt or baking pan.
  7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. Or until the cake springs back when pressed. A cake tester or toothpick will not work with this cake.
  8. Let cool for 15 minutes before unmolding onto a rack and cool completely.

Recipe Notes

You may dust with powdered sugar or even cover it in a chocolate glazer if you want to be fancy. But you definitely don't need it with this cake.
