I am not a fan of chocolate cake, but this Ridiculous Chocolate Cake right here is absolutely divine! If you are a milk chocolate lover, this is 100% for you!  I normally bake this in a regular bundt cake pan, but these Mini Easter Bundts were too cute to pass up.  I used mini chocolate chips to sprinkle on before adding the Peep bunny.  Keep these in mind for the early upcoming Easter holiday.

Ridiculous Chocolate Cake

Cake Ingredients

• 1 box chocolate fudge cake mix

• 1 (3.9 ounce) box instant chocolate pudding

• 1 (16 ounce) container sour cream

• 3 eggs

• 1/3 cup oil

• 1/2 cup water

• 2 cups chocolate chips

Frosting Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter, room temperature

• 1/4 cup cocoa

• 2 cups powdered sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla

• 1/4 – 1/3 cup heavy cream (depending on consistency add more if desired)

• Chocolate chips

Directions

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease Bundt pan. In stand mixer combine all ingredients except chocolate chips. Mix on low for 30 seconds then medium for 1 minute. Stir in chocolate chips by hand. Pour batter into Bundt pan and bake for 60 minutes or until cake is set. Cool completely before frosting.

To make frosting, beat butter, cocoa and powdered sugar in a stand mixer until combined. Add in vanilla and cream. Beat on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until creamy. Frost the cake and sprinkle more chocolate chips over the top.
