Triple Chocolate Bundt Cake Recipe Ingredients:

• Betty Crocker Super Moist Triple Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix
• Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix
• 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.

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 the other ingredients until well mixed. I start with 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, sour cream, and 4 large eggs, and then add 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 your 1/2 cup of warm water after that and allow the mixer to mix it well at a low speed. My mom said to do it this way so the chocolate chips wouldn’t melt and the pudding wouldn’t set as well.

Pour into your greased bundt pan.

Bake time is approximately 45 minutes, until a toothpick comes out mostly clean. (If you hit a melted chocolate chip, it will be gooey-looking like cake batter goo)

*Note high altitude will affect how this cake bakes.*

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

Slice and serve!!! 

How To Serve Triple Chocolate Cake

You can use a piping bag to pipe the top of the cake with your favorite frosting, chocolate ganache, chocolate liquor, icing sugar, or a thin layer of powdered sugar to enhance the chocolate flavor. As with any cake, you want to top cooled cakes, not hot or warm cakes.

How to Store triple chocolate bundt cake with cake mix

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. I also found them on Amazon as well -> here!!

Now I store my cake at room temperature, but you could keep it in the fridge as well.
