The Best Chocolate Cake Ever

I made this cake and let me say ....YUMMMMY!!!! You HAVE to make this. It was SO super easy!!!

The Best Chocolate Cake Ever

1 box devil’s food cake mix
1 small pkg Jello instant chocolate pudding mix
1 cup sour cream
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups mini chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a very large bowl, mix together everything except chocolate chips. Batter will be thick. Stir in the chocolate chips. Pour batter into cake pan of choice (I normally use two 9-inch pie pans). For cooking time, I use the cooking times on the back of the devil’s food cake box as a guide and usually add 10 mins to whatever it says. Then I do the toothpick check, and if it’s not done, I check on it every 5 mins after that. It usually takes around 45 mins for two, 9-inch pie pans.

Buttercream Frosting (I made this frosting and mine didn't turn out so well...)

1 cup shortening (Crisco)
4 cups powdered sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream

In a mixing bowl, cream shortening until fluffy. Add sugar and continue creaming until well blended. Add salt, vanilla, and whipping cream. Blend on low speed until moistened. Beat at high speed until frosting is fluffy.

Oh my!! That sounds so very yummy! I will have to give this a try when my husband gets back from being in the field next weekend!! I have to say that I have been following your blog since your sweet baby went to heaven.. You have helped me through so many hard times. My son is 19 months old and I struggled with Postpartum depression for a very very long time.. I have since had a very good friend of mine who had a very very close call with her daughter.. She is 4 months old now and on a feeding tube.. You have helped us out in such a way that you can not imagine! I look up to you everyday and how you have been able to go on.. I cant begin to imagine the pain that you and your husband have gone through and are still going through! You are a true angel and a light in a world that can be very cruel! Thank you for all that you do and for all that you will continue to do!!

I too have made a cake like this- no milk though. It's such an easy, quick cake to make and everyone loves it! I layer mine with a chocolate frosting and skip the chocolate chips, but in the end they are all so good!

This cake sounds amazing!!

I agree with Tierra, try a frosting using butter instead of Crisco. Here is a chocolate buttercream frosting I use, and it's really good!
