Rec: Chocolate Cavity Maker Cake I can't wait to bake this again.
Chocolate Cavity Maker Cake
Submitted by: Caitlin Koch: "Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. This cake is so moist and rich there's absolutely no need for frosting. This cake made me an instant star with my clients. I quickly became known as 'that incredible chocolate cake lady!'"
1 (18.25 ounce) package dark chocolate cake mix (I used DH)
1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
1 (16 ounce) container sour cream
3 large eggs
1/3 cup canola oil
1/2 cup coffee liqueur (I used Kapali)
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (I used half Tropical Source, found at Whole Foods & half Hershey's)
Grease and cocoa a 10-inch Bundt pan. Preheat oven to 350° F (175° C).
In a large bowl, sift cake mix to remove lumps and aerate. Whisk in pudding mix.
Use 1 spoonful of dry cake mix to dust the chocolate chips to help suspend them, though batter is thick)
In a medium bowl, combine sour cream, eggs, oil and coffee liqueur. Beat well.
Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients (except chocolate chips) and mix until well blended.
Fold in chocolate chips. Batter will be thick.
Spoon into prepared pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, or until cake springs back when lightly tapped. Cool 10 minutes in pan, then run a knife around sides and turn out and cool completely on wire rack.
My notes: I preheat oven to 355° since you lose heat when you open the door. When cake goes in the oven, I reduce oven temp to 345°.
This recipe makes a lot of batter, but it didn’t spill over. The toothpick method doesn’t work on this very moist chocolate chip cake.
Freezing not recommended.
