Ingredients
Cake
- 1 box Devil’s Food Cake Mix
- 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding
- 5 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup sour cream or buttermilk
- 3/4 cup brewed coffee
- 2 cups Nestle Toll House chocolate chips
Ganache Icing
- 1 stick salted butter
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 box powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp milk
- 1/2 cup pecan pieces
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt cake pan thoroughly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cake mix and pudding mix.
- Blend Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together eggs, vanilla extract, vegetable oil, sour cream or buttermilk, and brewed coffee.
- Combine Batter: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a plate or platter.
- Make Ganache: Melt butter over low heat. Stir in cocoa powder, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, milk, and pecans until smooth.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle the warm ganache over the cake and serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- For a nut-free version, omit the pecans in the ganache.
- Brewed coffee enhances the chocolate flavor without adding a coffee taste. Substitute with water or milk if needed.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
