Chocolate Lover's Cake

This recipe is for the true chocolate lover! Like me! I love it!

1 chocolate cake mix (Dry--don't make it according to directions on the box)
1 small instant chocolate pudding mix
4 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
½ cup water
½ cup vegetable oil
2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips

Place all ingredients except chocolate chips, in a large mixing bowl. Blend with electric mixer for 1 minute. Stir down sides. Continue to mix on medium speed for 2-3 minutes. Batter will be very thick. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour batter into greased and floured bundt pan or a 9x13 pan.

Bake 45-50 minutes at 350. Cool 20 minutes. If making a bundt cake, invert onto serving platter.

This cake is delicious without the frosting, but if you're making it as a bundt cake, it makes the presentation of the cake so much prettier. So I recommend it for the bundt cake for sure!

Frosting:
8 Tbsp butter (not margarine)
4 Tbsp cocoa powder
1/3 cup evaporated milk
4 cups powdered sugar

Melt butter in medium saucepan over low heat. Whisk in cocoa and milk. Bring mixture just to boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Beat in powdered sugar with electric mixer until thickened and smooth. Pour warm frosting over warm cake. This recipe makes a lot of frosting.
