Mocha chocolate chocolate chip bundt cake, a rich, creamy cake full of flavor. Has pudding in the mix for an extra moist chocolate flavor. Simply delicious. Have a piece. Or two. It will be our secret.
So I was in a baking mood one day...
That is how most of my baking stories start out. Well, either that or "my family was hungry and was begging for something homemade". Either way. Either way, this mocha chocolate chocolate chip bundt cake was created and enjoyed.
By all.
Even by the non-cake lover in the house, Cade. He doesn't like cake all that much and even doesn't want it for his birthdays. I believe the problem is the boxed cake mix.
Now, anybody who knows me at all knows I use boxed cake mix often. I am rarely without it in my pantry and I use it for all things yummy. All.The.Time.
See Gooey Strawberry Cookies
There is something, however, absolutely scrumptious about homemade cakes. They seem to be, in my opinion, more moist and more flavorful. Maybe it is the pudding I added in. Maybe it is the coffee flavor in this last cake that added a depth to the cake. Either way, my mouth is watering as I am typing this and I really, really want a piece of mocha chocolate chocolate chip bundt cake.
Too bad we ate it in less than 24 hours.
I guess that is what happens when there are six of us. Including a teenager and a preteen who are running, marching and playing basketball. {These children are always hungry!!}
By the way, Cade was my spatula holder for this picture, figuring he was the safest bet since he isn't a fan of cake. He then decided he loved it. :-)
Mocha Chocolate Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake
:: The best part of this cake is the "one bowl" method. It makes for easy mixing and easy clean up when you can add all ingredients to one bowl.
:: When using instant coffee crystals, be sure to soak them in milk before adding them to the mix. It will help dissolve them.
:: You don't have to use a bundt cake pan, you can use a 9x13. I like the look and design of a bundt cake pan.
