How to Make Cake Mix Chocolate Picnic Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, oil, and water according to the cake mix instructions.
  3. Stir in the melted chocolate chips and chocolate pudding mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Once cooled, dust generously with powdered sugar and serve.
