Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup chocolate frosting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, sour cream, vegetable oil, and eggs. Use an electric mixer to blend ingredients on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and well incorporated.
- Fold in the chocolate chips gently using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cake batter.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to create a uniform layer.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. To check doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake - it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan for about 1 hour at room temperature.
- Once cooled, spread the chocolate frosting evenly over the top of the cake using an offset spatula or butter knife.
- Optional: Garnish with additional chocolate chips or cocoa powder for extra decoration.
- Slice into 12 equal servings and serve. The cake can be stored covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for smoother mixing and better cake texture.
- Don't overmix the batter - mix just until ingredients are combined to keep the cake tender.
- For extra moisture, you can replace some of the oil with applesauce.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for more intense chocolate flavor.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
- For a professional finish, use an offset spatula when spreading frosting.
- Store the cake in an airtight container to maintain its moisture and freshness.
