Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 1 box Devil’s Food Cake mix
  • 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup sour cream or buttermilk
  • 3/4 cup brewed coffee
  • 2 cups Nestlé Toll House chocolate chips

For the Ganache Icing:

  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) salted butter
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/2 box powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 cup pecan pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt cake pan generously with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix and instant chocolate pudding.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, vegetable oil, sour cream (or buttermilk), and brewed coffee until smooth.
  4. Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips gently to ensure they’re evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the greased bundt pan and spread it evenly.
  7. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a serving platter.

Making the Ganache Icing:

  1. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
  2. Stir in the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  3. Add the pecan pieces and mix well.
  4. Drizzle the warm ganache over the cake while it’s still slightly warm for the best consistency.

Notes

  • Chocolate Chips: Feel free to use your favorite chocolate chips! You can also try higher quality ones or even chopped dark chocolate for a richer taste.
  • Pecans in Ganache: If you’re not a fan of pecans or have allergies, no worries! You can swap them for other nuts like almonds or walnuts, or just leave them out.
  • Vegetable Oil: For a lighter cake that’s still super moist, you can try replacing half of the vegetable oil with unsweetened applesauce. See which way you like best! Happy baking!
