Very Fat Fudge Cake

Who could resist Chocolatey Fudge Cake??? Well here is a simple recipe for just that. I made this cake for a co-workers wedding shower. I decorated each piece with a fake diamond ring.

Very Fat Fudge Cake

1 Box Chocolate Cake Mix

3 oz Pkg Instant Vanilla Pudding

8 oz Sour Cream

1/2 Cup oil

1/2 Cup water

4 eggs

6 oz Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips

Preheat oven to 350. Grease bundt or 9x13 cake pan. In a large mixing bowl, beat together all ingredients, except chocolate chips, for 5 minutes. Fold in chocolate chips. Pour into prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes for 9x13 pan or 55 minutes for bundt pan. Cool and turn out (if using bundt pan). If you want some type of glaze combine 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips and 2 teaspoons butter flavored shortening, microwave until melted and mix until smooth.

Triple Chocolate Bundt Cake

I had to try out my new bundt pan, so I found a recipe from my Simple and Delicious magazine and made a few changes. (sorry, some of the measurements aren't exact)

1 box white cake mix

1/3 cup sugar

4 eggs

8 oz. sour cream

2/3 cup canola (or vegetable) oil

2 Tbsp. baking cocoa

1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips

Splash of vanilla

For the topping:

Bag of Special Dark Chocolate Chips

Heavy whipping cream

In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, sugar, eggs, sour cream and oil. Beat on low for 1 minute; beat on medium for 2 minutes. Pour half of batter into another bowl. Stir in cocoa until blended, then add 3/4 cup of the mini chocolate chips. In the white batter add the remaining 3/4 cup of choc chips and a good splash of vanilla.

Spoon batters alternately into a greased 10-in fluted bundt pan. Bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool.

In a bowl combine the special dark chocolate chips and a good splash of heavy whipping cream. Microwave until melted, mix until smooth and runny. Drizzle to coat the cake with as much topping as you like. I completely covered mine.

Chocolate Gooey Butter Cookies

This recipe comes courtesy of Paula Deen. It is so simple yet so delish!

1 (8oz) block cream cheese (room temp)
1 stick of butter (room temp)
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (18oz) box chocolate cake mix
powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl with an electric mixer cream the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Beat in the egg, then vanilla and finally the cake mix. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours until the dough becomes firm enough to roll into balls. Roll the tablespoon sized balls into the powdered sugar. Place on a greased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart and bake for 12-15 minutes (it depends on the size of the balls). The cookies will remain soft and gooey.
