Ingredients

  • 1 box Pillsbury Moist Supreme Devil's Food cake mix with pudding in the mix
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup oil I used Canola
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • 1 cup nuts optional

One Minute Caramel Frosting

  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup regular sugar
  • 1/4 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Empty cake mix into a large bowl, add sour cream, eggs, oil, and milk.  Mix well with mixer.
  • Fold in chocolate chips and nuts.  Spray bundt pan with cooking spray.  Add cake mixture to pan. 
  • Cook in preheated 350 degree oven for 55 - 60 minutes.  Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan.  Cool completely before adding caramel frosting.

One Minute Caramel Frosting Instructions

  • Add all ingredients except vanilla to pan and bring to a boil.  Boil for one minute, remove and add vanilla extract.  
  • Beat with a mixer for about 2 minutes and it will begin to thicken as it cools.  Pour onto cake.  I use a small pitcher to pour the frosting on the cake. 
  • If it gets too hard to pour, add a little milk until you get the consistency you need.

Notes

Note:  You could make this cake in a 9 x 13 and pour caramel frosting over the cake but I would double the frosting recipe.
If you can't find a cake mix with the pudding in the mix you can add a 3.2 ounce box of INSTANT chocolate pudding. The mix will get kind of thick but the last time we made it we did this and it worked fine. I do think it would be fine without the pudding too.
