I
do believe that if I made my hubby a yummy dessert once a week, I could stay on his good side forever. Dessert…the way to a man’s heart. At least, that’s true at my house, how about yours?
So, I got out this recipe that has been sitting in my recipe files that I have no idea where I got it from. Looks like I might have cut it out of the newspaper at some point. I have to tell you, I love a cake that starts with a box mix, don’t you? And can be cooked in a Bundt pan, that’s extra points. Sandra Lee would approve of this one.
I hate making layer cakes.
It starts with a yellow cake box mix, but then after adding all those extra special ingredients, it tastes SO homemade. This one has all the things we love:
chocolate chips
coconut
pecans
vanilla pudding and even
sour cream.
How can you go wrong with those ingredients?
It’s definitely a keeper and will go in the permanent recipe file. Delish!! Perfect for the family or a special occasion.
Chocolate Chip Cake
1 Yellow cake mix (I used Dunkin Hines)
1 Small box instant vanilla pudding (I used French Vanilla)
4 eggs
1/2 cup cooking oil
1 (8 oz.) sour cream
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup flaked coconut
Beat cake mix, pudding mix, oil, sour cream and eggs together until well blended, about 3 minutes. Stir in chips, nuts and coconut by hand. Grease tube pan. Pour cake mixture into pan. Bake at 350* for 1 hour. Turn oven off, open door and let cake set in pan for 1 hour before removing to cake server.
Hope you’ll try it, I think you’ll love it too!

Oh, I gotta try this one! and I already have all the stuff….a BIG woohoo for keeping my pantry stocked with bargains! LOL
Yummo!! I just bought mini choc chips this past weekend to make a version of this sour cream pound/bundt cake but your recipe looks even simpler – lovely! Can’t wait to make the house smell yummy! thanks
Yum! I make a very similar cake that starts with a chocolate cake mix. I’ll have to try this variety next time!
Ohhhh I was doing really well this week-eating wise. My husband is coming home tonight…I am sure he would love this! I guess I’ll HAVE to make it! {wink wink}
Hi Rhoda! I have this recipe, except we use devils food cake, chocolate pudding, and chocolate chips with an almond-chocolate glaze. It is divine! Richella from Imparting Grace posted this recipe too except she uses cream cheese instead of the sour cream, so it’s obviously a very versatile cake 🙂 I’m going to have to try your version next…yum.
