One of my best friends just sent me this recipe, so I'm sending it to all of you just as I got it.
Brenda's Darn Good Chocolate Cake Serves 16 Preperation time: 10 minutes Baking Time: 45 to 50 minutes Preheat oven at 350 degrees with rack in center of oven Pam or vegetable or for pan Flour to dust pan 1 package 18.25 ounce plain devil's food or plain dark chocolate cake mix 1 package 3.9 ounces instant chocolate pudding mix 4 large eggs 1 Cup sour cream 1/2 cup warm water 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1-1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips Lightly mist a 12 cup Bundt pan with vegetable oil spray and dust with flour. Shake out the excess flour and set the pan aside. Or you can use two loaf pans and bake about the same length of time. (Mare) sometimes I use two loaf pans to make this cake and then I freeze one. Place the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, sour cream, warm water and oil in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for one minute. Stop, and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatchula. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat 2 to 3 minutes more, scraping the sides down again, if needed. The batter should look thick and well combined. Fold in the chocolate chips making sure they are well distributed throughout the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it out with the rubber spatchula and place in the oven. Bake the cake until it springs back when lightly touched with your finger and just starts to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 45-50 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes. Run a long sharp knife around the edge of the cake then invert it onto the wire rack to cool completely, 20 minutes more. Or invert it onto a serving platter to slice and serve while still warm. marilyn --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
