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?IMG_6853

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!

    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.
