Darn Good Chocolate Cake

Okay, so I am making one right now and thought I would share the simple secret recipe:

Ingredients:
1 box devil's food cake mix
1 small box chocolate pudding mix
1 cup sour cream
4 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup water
for later: most of a pkg. of semi-sheet choc chips

Healthy substitute: INSTEAD of 1/2 cup oil, I substitute 3/4 cup flaxseed meal and 1/4 cup oil. I haven't noticed any difference in the taste or texture and it relieves a little of the guilt in eating it...it's HEALTHY! Gotta have my omega 3's ya know...

Combine all ingredients EXCEPT choc chips. Blend for 3 minutes with a mixer (time it, cuz 3 minutes it a lot longer than you think when you're just standing there mixing). Stir in choc chips. Spray a bundt pan with oil and pour the cake mixture into the pan. Bake for about 50-55 minutes at 350 degrees. Take out of the oven and let sit for at least 20 minutes (mine takes longer to cool because it's a heavy bundt pan). Set a plate over the top and then flip it and serve immediately. I like to sprinkle the top with powdered sugar and served with whipped cream.

Here's a Hawaiian word to describe this cake: "ono" means "delicious" or "scrumptious!"

Thanks so much for posting this. I will definitely be making it for when we have company. Too bad I'm on a diet or I'd probably make it right this second :)
