Yum, Yum, Yum!

I tried a new cake for Kirk's birthday tonight. It was delicious and definitely worth passing along. I am usually a little leery of recipes involving cake mix concoctions. But this one was super moist and very tasty. If you like Chocolate, you'll love this one...
1 package devil's food cake mix
1 package (5.9 oz.) instant chocolate pudding mix
1 cup sour cream
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1/2 cup warm water
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, mix together the cake and pudding mixes, sour cream, oil, eggs and water. Stir in the chocolate chips and pour batter into a well greased 12 cup bundt pan.
Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the top is springy to the touch and a wooden toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool cake thoroughly in pan at least an hour and a half before inverting onto a plate.
Frosting:
2 T. butter
2 T. cocoa
2 T. water
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in cocoa and water and cook until thickened. Take off heat and whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Pour immediately over cooled cake.

Good thing I've got a long run tomorrow to burn off at least some of these extra calories!
