Triple Chocolate Cake

Yes... there are a million different chocolate cake recipes but this one... oh this one... is probably the most moist, most rich, and enjoyable I've come across. My sister is a chocolate fanatic so she insisted that we make a triple chocolate cake for dessert last week. She came across this recipe and, to be honest, I was a bit apprehensive because it started off with a boxed cake mix. However, after we added the additional ingredients, I have to bow down to her for her incredible chocolate intuition.

What you'll need

• 1 box devil's food cake mix
• 1 small package instant jello chocolate pudding mix
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 4 eggs beaten
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups mini chocolate chips

Let's whip it up!

• Preheat oven to 350
• In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients minus the chocolate chips. (Batter will be very thick)

• Once ingredients are blended and smooth, fold in chocolate chips

• Grease baking pan of choice and pour batter in
• Since the batter is quite thick, baking time will need about 10 minutes additional to the baking time listed on the back of the cake mix box. To test, insert a toothpick and when it comes out clean that is when your cake should be taken out.

We used a 9 x 13 cake pan and it took over 50 minutes.

The cake had a slight mound on top when we first took it out of the oven but, once we let the cake cool, the mound actually flattened itself out which ( if you were using two separate pans) would make it great for layering. 

Now you can frost this cake with pretty much anything and it would still be the best chocolate cake out there. Like I said, my sister is a chocolate fanatic so naturally we went with more chocolate. Chocolate mousse!

Chocolate Mousse

• 3 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1 1/2 sifted confectioners sugar
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• Dash of salt

Whip ingredients together in a chilled bowl until mixture holds a peak. Frost and enjoy!

There you have it! Maybe I should call it Easy Peasy Chocolate Cake. Call it what you may but at the end of the day, do yourself a favor and whip this baby up!
