This over-the-top Choco-holic Cake is pure chocolaty deliciousness made with boxed chocolate cake mix, chocolate pudding, and a shiny chocolate glaze. It’s so simple to make, but looks like you baked all day. Perfect for the holidays, birthdays, or anytime your chocolate cravings get out of control!
This recipe is so easy! You can whip it together in about 10 minutes, and that includes locating all of the items in your pantry. I found this recipe in an old Nestle Toll House book.
I could not locate my Bundt pan, I think I donated it when I moved because I seldom used it. Instead I used a spring form pan with a bundt insert.
In full disclosure, I would not use it again because the cake stuck in the pan, even though I doused it liberally with Pam baking spray.
I was fearful at one point that this was all going to be a waste. But in the end I did manage to salvage the cake, and remember, frosting can hide a lot of mistakes!
Also, when you make the glaze it has to be a good pouring consistency, otherwise it gets a little gloppy looking like mine and looses a little shine. Nevertheless, the cake is absolutely delicious and sure to please!
