Chocolate Chunk Bundt Cake

Teresa Ambra

Chocolate Chunk Bundt Cake is awesome! It has a rich, chocolaty, fudge-type flavor. Plus, chocolate chips permeate the texture of this delicious cake. Because the cake starts with a cake mix and chocolate pudding mix, it is incredibly quick and easy to make up. There are only 7 ingredients in this wonderful recipe. It can easily become a family favorite. Especially if you like quick and easy recipes. And, especially if you’re a chocolate lover. (Which I am!!)

Years ago I worked at Dallas Baptist University trying to get my boys through college. One of the gals in our department brought this tasty cake in for some party or celebration. We were always celebrating something in our department. There were a lot of women who liked to bake. It seemed like we had home-baked goodies in our department all the time. No kidding. She had actually gotten the recipe from her college age daughter who was a student at the university at the time. One bite of this sumptuous recipe was all it took for me to realize I needed to acquire it immediately!

The only difficult thing about working with Bundt cakes is learning how to tell when they’re done. The easiest trick is to put a knife into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If the knife still has a lot of goo on it, the cake is NOT done. It doesn’t matter what the suggested cooking time on the recipe is. If you don’t cook a bundt cake long enough it will fall out of the pan in clumps! (Take it from someone who has had that happen to her on more than one occasion). 🙁

Rarely have I had a bundt cake cook in less than one hour. Many times they take closer to an hour and a half. So figure that amount of time in with your schedule when baking bundt cakes, if you’ve not made too many of them before. You also need to really grease and flour bundt pans extremely well in order to get the cake to come out easily.

If you’re looking for a fantastic chocolate cake recipe that’s quick and easy, than look no farther than Chocolate Chunk Bundt Cake. You can use either chocolate chips or chocolate chunks–whichever you desire. While this cake can certainly be served as a dessert, I like to serve it as a breakfast or brunch coffee cake! It’s a great accompaniment to any kind of large breakfast spread. Plus, who doesn’t enjoy chocolate for breakfast!  🙂

Doesn’t Chocolate Chunk Bundt Cake look yummy? This cake cooks up beautifully. Because the batter is thick the chocolate chips don’t all sink to the bottom like they do in some cakes.

Here’s what I did.

Place yellow cake mix in a bowl. I usually use butter-recipe yellow cake mix.

After cake has cooled completely invert cake onto serving plate. If you have greased and floured your pan well and cooked the cake until a knife inserted in center comes out clean, you should have no problem with the cake coming out of the pan. The cake will come out cleanly. If it doesn’t, you may need to consider investing in another pan. Sprinkle top and sides with powdered sugar or add a chocolate glaze if desired.

While I sprinkled my cake with powdered sugar, you can also make a chocolate glaze with 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 1 tbsp. cocoa, 1 tsp. vanilla, and about 2 tbsp. milk. Then drizzle the chocolate sauce over top of the cake. Wait about 15 minutes for the icing to dry before cutting.

Chocolate Chunk Bundt Cake

This rich chocolate cake is great for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Chocolate chunks double the chocolate and if you pour syrup over the top you get a triple dose of chocolate. Terrific for company and holidays like Easter, Mother's Day or Father's Day.
