TRIPLE CHOCOLATE BUNDT CAKE RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
- Betty Crocker Super Moist Triple Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix– If you can’t find this cake mix grab the most chocolatey one as a substitution. You will not need the ingredients on the box.
- Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix-You will not need the ingredients on the box.
- Vegetable Oil
- Eggs
- Warm Water
- Semisweet Chocolate Chips
- Sour Cream
- Optional Powdered Sugar– You can use this to top the cake if you want, it does look nice when serving.
HOW TO MAKE TRIPLE CHOCOLATE BUNDT CAKE:
Grease your bundt pan with Crisco or a spray, I do this even with a nonstick pan. You could use a bundt glass pan as well.
Heat oven to 350 degrees before starting.
Gather your dry ingredients and wet ingredients.
Set to the side the chocolate chips and the warm water those will be added in one of the last step instructions.
In a large bowl combine all other ingredients until well mixed. I start with 1/2 cup vegetable oil, sour cream, and 4 large eggs and then add in the dry ingredients at a medium speed.
After mixing the box mix and other dry ingredients, slowly mix in the chocolate chips until well mixed.

Add after that your 1/2 cup of warm water and allow the mixer to mix it well at a low speed. My mom said to do it this way so the chocolate chips didn’t melt and the pudding didn’t set as well.
Pour into your greased bundt pan.
Bake time is about 45 minutes until the toothpick comes out semi-clean. (if you hit a melted chocolate chip it will be gooey look for cake batter goo)
*Note high altitude will affect how this cake bakes.*

Cool the cake in the pan and then flip it onto a pan or serving dish.

Slice and serve!!!

How To Serve Triple Chocolate Cake
You can use a piping bag to the top of the cake with your favorite frosting, chocolate ganache, chocolate liquor, icing sugar, or a thin layer of powdered sugar to add to the chocolate flavor! As with any cake, you want to top cooled cakes, not hot or warm cake.
Personally, I like to top my slices of Triple Chocolate Cake with some chocolate syrup, my dad, however, likes hot fudge on his! Finding out our family favorites has helped to increase our collection of delicious recipes! This is a recipe that would be a hit in any family Betty Crocker Kitchen!
It’s easy to make each slice into a personalized dessert and serve the cake with ice cream!

How TO Store Chocolate Bundt Cake
Now storing bundt cakes can be a bit tricky. You may remember my Tupperware Mega Bowl. I just pressed the bowl onto the lid and we had storage! It’s called THATSA® MEGA BOWL and we have used it for everything. You can head over -> here to shop, I earn nothing from this it’s just a rep I love that we got the bowl from. I also found them on Amazon as well -> here!!
Now I stored my cake at room temperature but you could store it in the fridge as well.

I made this the first time back in 2014 and every time I have made it since it doesn’t last long! Now I throw all of the cake ingredients right into my Kitchen Aid Mixer and let it do all the hard work!!

Amy says
Can you make this into cupcakes?
Susan says
Your recipe sounds scrumptious! Can’t wait to try it.
A thought: instead of purchasing a Tupperware bowl & lid, go ahead & buy a cake storage carrier. It fits great & displays the cake nicely as well. 😁
Thanks for sharing your recipe.

This recipe is such an inspiration! I may have to veganize this one soon.
Misskriss says
Will lite sour cream affect the outcome of the cake?
Donna says
You need to write better instructions: you have one instruction in two different places.
