THE Cake

So this is a recipe that many have enjoyed at many parties etc...  It could not be easier to make and based on people's comments it is a fave of the things I do bake.  So here is my not so secret recipe:

The Cake:

Ingredients
  • Cooking spray
  • 2  teaspoons  all-purpose flour
  • 1  cup  fat-free sour cream
  • 3/4  cup  plus 1 tablespoon warm water
  • 3  tablespoons  vegetable oil
  • 2  teaspoons  instant espresso or 4 teaspoons instant coffee granules
  • 1  (8-ounce) carton egg substitute
  • 1  (18.25-ounce) package devil's food cake mix (without pudding in the mix)
  • 1  (3.9-ounce) package chocolate instant pudding mix
  • 1/2  cup  semisweet chocolate chips (I use closer to 2 cups)
  • 1  tablespoon  powdered sugar

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°.

Coat a 12-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray, and dust with flour; set aside (or use non-stick bundt pan with some cooking spray, omitting the flour).

Combine the sour cream and next 6 ingredients (sour cream through chocolate pudding mix) in a large bowl, and beat mixture at medium speed of a mixer for 3 minutes. Add the chocolate chips, and beat the mixture for 30 seconds.

Spoon the cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Bake cake at 350° for 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan 10 minutes on a wire rack. Invert cake onto a wire rack, and cool completely. Sprinkle cake with powdered sugar.
