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!

Ooh! That looks yummy! I want a piece. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I will have to try that.
My hubby was a dessert lover (especially chocolate chip cookies) until he changed his diet for heath reasons. Now I don’t bake quite as much because it’s usually for just my daughter and myself.

Rhoda says
Tina, yeah, I wish it was that easy. 🙂 He calls me the food police as it is, so if I don’t make a homemade treat occasionally, he’ll just get Hershey bars at the grocery store. Darned if I do & darned if I don’t! Needless to say, the diet isn’t going well, but i do try to help.

Chocolate coconut and pecans, all ingredients of my favorite candy bar, almond joy. When we go to Brusters for ice cream if they have it thats what I get chocolate almond, coconut. Will have to try this recipe soon.

Oh Rhoda I am on a diet….Goodness this cake looks so yummy with all of my favorites. I’ll bet this one is a winner for sure. Sigh…:)
You are my very first blog to now suscribe by feedburner! Yay!
I had clicked on your new follower box that’s on your “blog roll” page and I didn’t get any new feeds on my dashboard from it. I’m sure this way will work great. I appreciate you telling me how it works!
~Have a blessed day. ~Melissa 🙂

very similar to my recipe….though I use chocolate pudding and add 4 oz grated German (sweet) chocolate….I don’t use the coconut either, but that sounds yummy…..oh and I make a fudge frosting too…..sooooo good!

Yum … I make the one from the lemon cake mix, with lemon pudding and then a lemon drizzle on top, and it is a family staple. I’ll definitely try yours.
