How to Make Great Chocolate Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water (optional, see note), oil, eggs, and chocolate chips.
Mix thoroughly until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake!
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
