Recipe~ The Most Amazing Chocolate Cake… Ever!

43 · Apr 6, 2011 · 117 Comments

WB 018 copy

I have a dear friend, Janeen, who makes the most amazing Chocolate Cake EVER!!! It’s one of those cakes that leaves a lasting impression, it haunts you until you finally break down and beg your sweet friend to please share the recipe with you.  Then you beg some more to see if you can share it with the world.  Janeen, my dear, the world is going to LOVE you and your amazing cake!!

WB 005 copy

The Most Amazing Chocolate Cake… Ever!

1 Chocolate Cake Mix (any kind, I've used chocolate fudge, Swiss chocolate, or milk chocolate)

1 C Mini Chocolate Chips

1 cup Sour Cream

1 Pkg. of Chocolate Pudding (small 3.5 oz. box)

Prepare cake as directed on box, and add sour cream, pudding and chocolate chips.  Pour into 2 9-inch round baking pans.  Bake as directed on box (you might need to add a minute or two to the baking time because of the added ingredients).  Place on a wire rack to cool.

Equally Impressive Chocolate Frosting

1 cup butter at room temperature

3 oz. Ghirardelli 100% cocoa chocolate bar

4-5 cups powered sugar

milk

Chop the chocolate, then place in double boiler until melted.  Cream together butter, chocolate, and 4 cups of powered sugar. Add milk as needed for desired consistency.  Combine until creamy; continue to add powered sugar and milk until it is the consistency and taste that you want.  Place one layer of cake on cake stand and frost the top, then add the second layer and frost the rest of the cake.

Garnish with chocolate curls.  I like to make bigger curls for this cake.  Melt some chocolate, get a 9 inch round cake pan and turn upside down and then spread the chocolate on it as a thin, thin layer.  Let cool until the chocolate is set and then get a cheese slicer or potato peeler, and slice the chocolate into curls. 

Chocolate Cake

Janeen made this Heavenly cake for our Bloggers Night Out {Vegas Style} [more on that to come!] this past weekend, and blew everyone away!! Janeen you are a doll!!

    I've been making a version of this cake with 4 eggs, 1/2 a cup of rum and 1/4 cup of oil added to it for years, my grandmother taught me. It freezes AMAZINGLY, turns into a layer cake or bundt cake beautifully and is generally just awesome. It's even won me a few awards 😉

    There is one problem with using cake mixes and such in recipes: these products are not widely available, for example, in Europe. I always have to skip these recipes as I have no idea what actually goes into a generic "cake mix" so I could make my own substitute.

    I made this for my family's Mother's day party. My aunts absolutely LOVED it! (They demanded I make copies of the recipe because they don't have internet) It was described several times as "orgasmic" and two of my aunts actually fought over who would take home the left overs. This was my first time making a -real- cake (anything fancier than a funfetti cake. I'm only 18! lol) I accidentally bought normal sized chocolate chips so I used only half a cup of them, and topped the cake with them aswell (there were A LOT!) And I only needed to add a tablespoon of milk & an extra cup and a half of sugar to the frosting. (To everyone asking about the pudding, I put it in as powder, it turned out fine. So I guess that's what you're supposed to do.) Hope everyone enjoys theirs as much as we enjoyed it!

    When you are making the cake as directed – instead of putting water in it like the box says, substitute 7-up. It will make it even better! You can do that with any cake mix – it adds something amazing!

    I made this cake shortly after you posted this. Here is my conversation with my husband:

    Him: "Wow. This is really good. Why doesn't Rex (a friend of ours) like cake?"
    Me: "He says they are too dry. And icky. I believe he used the work icky."
    Him: "Wow. You should make him this one. I think he'd like cake."

    And while the hubs is a good sport about the food I make, he LOVED this cake.

    Super super super good(: for anyone wondering i use the instant pudding (the powder,not prepared yet).
    I tried to make a white version later which turned out ok. It was almost too moist so i'd take out the white chocolate chips and maybe use half the pudding. My brother doesn't like chocolate so i did it for him.

    This time I added 4 1/2 oz. of chocolate to the frosting to up the decadant factor a little bit…wow! So glad I found this recipe, everyone who's tried it has begged for the recipe! Thanks again!

    I'm glad we don't have cake mix available in Europe – who needs it anyway? Making a "chocolate cake" using cake mix is totally ambiguous! Is it that hard for you to make a cake from the beginning? And the frosting, ffs. You don't need to put butter and sugar(!) in it, the chocolate already has sugar. Cream and a bit of liquor heated with the chocolate is enough to make a delicious frosting.

    I laugh everytime I read this so called "recipes" that have 90% of the main ingredients totally processed in the first place.

    Seriously, Americans, you really need to re-think the way you eat. You have some delicious and healthy stuff too, but the cake mixes and the mac&cheese stuff and putting soda in the cake(!) and the whole comfort food thing goes beyond my understanding.

    wow! i can't believe i see a recipe for this cake. I have been making this exact cake for over 25years. The only difference is i perfer to put it in a bundt pan at 350 degrees for 50 minutes and when it's cool i sprinkle confectionery sugar all over the top. The cake is so moist and rich i feel it doesn't need all the icing, I also serve homemade whip cream and vanilla ice cream.  Your cake does look very beautiful!

          You do NOT have to make the pudding before adding it in. I got the instant pudding 3.9 oz box and I just dumped the powder in with the cake mix, and it worked fine. It made the cake really moist.
         What I didnt like was the 1 cup mini chocolate chips. It was way too much. When I took a bite out of the cake, all I could tasts was the chocolate chips; which I did not find very pleasant. In my opinion, the cake tastes much better without the chocolate chips. If chocolate chips is desired, try adding only 1/2 a cup instead of 1 cup.
         Otherwise, this cake was fantastic =)

    This cake is incredible — both devilishly rich and very moist. I substituted the chocolate pudding for vanilla pudding, and used a Duncan Hines yellow cake mix. The results were still outstanding. It’s a surprisingly easy recipe, and I can’t wait to share this link with friends.

    I’m also coveting the robin’s egg blue dessert plates — great photos!

    Actually instant works best and a way to improve it that you should try is using 4 eggs instead of the recommended three, using 1/2 c. water and a 1/2 c. oil instead of the recommended oil amounts. And I usually use 2 oz chocolate. This recipe also translates to about any type of cake you want – white with vanilla pudding and white chocolate, strawberry with cheesecake pudding and strawberries instead of the chocolate, etc. Be creative. Also, make sure after baking to cut the top, bottom, and sides off of the cake in a thin layer if you want an incredibly, incredibly scrumptious cake. And follow baking rules of course, mixing your dry ingredients first then adding wet, banging pans on counter to get air bubbles out before baking, flouring pans, etc. Try it. I bet you anything it will improve your best chocolate cake ever 🙂

    I have made this cake many times – and have gotten raves every single time! It has become a favorite with my co-workers…I have to make it for them on every special occasion! The name of this cake says it all – if you love chocolate, you will LOVE this cake!!

        How long would they take to bake? Would I just need to bake them a couple minutes longer than it says on the box for making cupcakes? 🙂

          I would start from the standard baking time and then check from there.

    Made this for my wifes birthday. It is the best Choc cake ever! I finished off the last quarter of the cake because I couldn’t stop eating it. I stirred my coffee, couldn’t find a clean fork, so dug in with the hot coffee flavored spoon. It melted its way through the cake. This will be my new way to eat this cake from now on!

    Hello, my name is Elizabeth and I work for a library in Wyoming. We are currently putting together a Death By Chocolate recipe book with recipes from our annual fundraiser. I noticed your photo with the cake on a plate at the top of this post, and it’s gorgeous. Very well done. We’re currently looking for pictures for the section dividers of our recipe book. I would love to discuss using your picture with you if you’re interested. It’s easiest to reach me by email. Please let me know what you think. And thank you!

    Does the butter have to be melted or just softened?

    This recipe is actually from Taste of Home magazine. The only difference is that they have a ganache on top and strawberries on top.

    For the Ghirardelli chocolate in the icing, did you use dark or milk?

    Just tried this for the first time and got RAVE reviews. Made a double recipe for a really large cake and every single person that tasted it swore it was the best chocolate cake they’ve ever had. A former chef even suggested I sell to local restaurants! Instead of the shaved chocolate I covered the entire cake in malt balls cut in half. The little bit of crunch made the perfect chocolate cake even better! If I don’t make this again there will mutiny in the birthday ranks.Thanks so much!

    OK, I made this today as cupcakes and OMG they are soooo sooo good! It did make 5 extra cupcakes (29 instead of the usual 24) because of the extra ingredients. I also had to fill the liners a little more than the recommended 2/3 full because the batter expanded perfectly while baking, but then when cooling it shrunk up a bit and looked a bit funky. With some buttercream on top, you couldn't tell, but I would add a little more batter to the liners next time to accomodate for the shrinkage. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. It will be my go to now! Thank you!!!

    I made this yesterday for my dads birthday, and I have to say it came out wonderfully! It was really really moist, which made me really nervous about it falling apart when taking them out of the pans. Luckily, it stayed together, but I had to be really careful. The frosting was actually the best part. I let my very critical parents taste it before I frosted the cake, and surprisingly they didnt have anything bad to say about it! If you want to store it in the fridge, you will want to let it sit out for several minutes so it is easier to cut it (the frosting hardens to a sort of plaster-like feel, making it hard to cut. But once it "thaws" it tastes just as good and fresh! Dont worry) Overall, this cake is AMAZING! My dad absolutely loved it

    When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment
    is added I get three e-mails with the same comment.
    Is there any way you can remove people from that service?

    Thanks!

Not all holiday gifts need to be ooey gooey sweet. Savory holiday gifts are just as lovely, sometimes even more so. I personally have been off sugar for 3 months now and I’m really nervous for the holiday season to arrive. Having the house fill up with sweets is NOT what I’m wishing for this Christmas. I would LOVE to get one of these Ball® Sharing Jar soup mixes as a gift. Not only are they soothing to the soul, but they are also good for you as well. - WhipperBerry @ballcanning #soupinajar #printabletags #souprecipe

Soup Mix Sharing Jars 

This year, I’m working on all kinds of fun gifts for the Holidays that will look spectacular gifted inside of a jar. One of my favorites is the White Chocolate Ginger Scone Mix in a jar. It’s really easy to put together a whole bunch of these gifts and really not expensive at all. It’s always a bonus to save a little money during the holidays. @ballcanning #giftsinajar #neighborgifts #teachergifts #sconeinajar

As much as we hate to admit it, cold and flu season is on its way. There is nothing more miserable than one of those lousy winter colds. What’s almost just as bad is watching someone you care for dealing with a cold or, Heaven forbid, the flu! I’m always looking for ways to help cheer them up and let them know that we love them and hope for their better health. That’s when I came up with this idea for a Cold and Flu Rescue Kit to share with those loved ones that are suffering. • WhipperBerry
