Ingredients for Best Darn Chocolate Cake
How to Make Best Darn Chocolate Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan. (Lightly grease the pan, then dust with flour, tapping out any excess.)
- In a large mixing bowl, combine:
- 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute, then scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Continue beating on medium-low speed for 2-3 minutes, until the batter is thick and well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 27-32 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting with your favorite frosting.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
