How to Make Vanilla Rich Chip Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine one 15.25 oz box of your favorite vanilla cake mix, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 4 large eggs, 1 cup sour cream, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
  3. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, until well combined.
  4. Gently fold in 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  6. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 1 hour before inverting onto a serving platter.
  8. (Optional) Prepare the simple icing: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar, and 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream until smooth and creamy. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
