The Way to My Heart

You've heard the saying that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Well the way to this woman's heart has many options, but one of my favorites is chocolate! With Valentines coming up, I figured what better to showcase my chocolate adoration than sharing one of my favorite chocolate recipes? This chocolate chip pound cake is easy, requires one bowl and is practically fail-proof even if you aren't the best baker. 

Ingredients

The ingredients are simple:
1 box yellow cake mix (I prefer Duncan Hines but any kind will do)
1 box vanilla instant pudding
1 box chocolate instant pudding
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
4 eggs
8 oz (1/2 bag) mini chocolate chips (you can also use the regular size but I like these better)
Pam spray
Sugar (to coat pan)

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray a large bundt pan with Pam, then pour sugar in to coat. I have found the best way to do this is to pour the sugar on the inner ring letting it fall to the center. Then rotate the pan to coat the outer ring. Use as much sugar as you want and pour out any excess that doesn't stick.

Sugar Coated Pan

In a large bowl combine the cake mix, both pudding mixes, milk, oil, and eggs. Beat until smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed in the batter.

Pour into the bundt pan. Try to pour into the center so as not to take off any of the sugar coating. Bake at 400 degrees for 50 minutes (but depending on your oven it may take 55 minutes.). After 50 minutes test it with a toothpick and leave it in for another five minutes if the toothpick doesn’t come out clean  Let it cool 5-10 minutes and flip out onto a plate.

Enjoy and Happy Valentine’s!
