DOUBLE Chocolate Bundt Cake




DOUBLE CHOCOLATE  BUNDT CAKE 


This cake is extremely chocolate-y so if you are not a HUGE FAN of chocolate...this cake is NOT FOR YOU.  You can make it a little less chocolate by omitting the 1/2 cup of chocolate morsel in the batter. My kids love it with a scoop of vanilla bean icecream ;) 
This cake is super RICH and very moist. Goes great with a TALL GLASS OF COLD WHITE MILK!


INGREDIENTS: 
1 box devil food chocolate cake mix
2 small box of INSTANT CHOCOLATE pudding 
4 eggs 
1/2 C veg oil
1 1/4 C water
1 C semi sweet chocolate morsel --divided (save some for garnishing) 

Preheat oven to 350
Grease a bundt pan and set aside

DIRECTIONS:
In a mixing bowl combine cake mix, pudding mix, oil, eggs and water with an electric mixer. Once the batter is mix well  FOLD  in the 1/2 cup of semi sweet chocolate morsels. Pour batter into prepared bundt pan and bake for 50 minutes or until toothpick comes out CLEAN.

Let cake cool for about 20 minutes before you invert onto a cake pan and frost.




Frosting: 
1 1/2 cup  UNSALTED butter room temperature
4 cups powdered sugar (SIFTED)
2/3 cup UNSWEETENED cocoa powder (SIFTED)
1/4 cup half n half
1 tsp vanilla extract

In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer (I used my hand held mixer)  whip butter until its nice and fluffy then add the sifted cocoa powder and powder sugar. Once that is nicely incorporated add vanilla extract then add  the half and half SLOWLY because you might not need the whole 1/4 cup of  half and half. Whip until the frosting is creamy and fluffy.  I frosted my cake a little too early and so the frosting was melting but after about 1 hr ....the frosting thicken up and it was so good.

****I used a ziploc bag to pipe my frosting onto the cake.

GARNISH with the 1/2 cup of semi sweet chocolate morsel.
