When I click on this recipe it opens up but only list the ingredients, the What To Do (instructions)) were not listed. Where can I get the instructions to make this dessert?

Hi Doris, We are working to restore the instructions but in the meantime I included them here. Thanks! Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 12-cup Bundt pan or 10-inch tube pan with cooking spray and dust with flour. In a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat cake mix, pudding mix, sugar, water, and oil about 2 minutes, or until creamy. Add sour cream, mixing well. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing at low speed just until blended after each addition. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared pan.

Will make this one. I also dust my pan with cocoa powder when I make a chocolate cake. I like to add a little cinnamon to chocolate cake recipes. I have to make a cho cake for our birthday luncheon next month. This will be it.

While I'm not an accomplished baker, I do enjoy these recipes and find them easy to follow. My question is, could I make this in a loaf pan(s) instead of a bundt pan ?

The answer to my question is yes... it made two loaves and I took them out after about 50 minutes. I also used vanilla pudding instead of chocolate. It fell after I took it out of the oven but that's okay, it tastes great !

I thought this great. I discovered 1 tablespoon instant coffee in the water. I always a bit of coffee to chocolate desert recipes. I did use the 12 cup additional sugar and did not think too sweet. I used Crisco to grease pan and dusted the pan with the dry pudding mix rather than white flour. Looked great.

This recipe does NOT NEED AN EXTRA HALF CUP OF SUGAR! Made it way too sweet. Perfectly fine without it. I mean, look at the recipe! Cake mix? Pudding mix? Chocolate chips? MORE sugar? Really?

Hi there! The Test Kitchen says that if you would like to make this recipe without the additional 1/2 c sugar you can do so. :) Enjoy!

This is a wonderful, moist cake. If you really like chocolate like we do, try using a chocolate cake mix. Oh my goodness----------be still my beating heart!

This was by far one of the best pound cakes I've ever tasted. I'm not even a huge fan of chocolate, but this cake was so moist and delicious I even went back for seconds. I love all the chocolate chips inside too!

Dear Mary, Surely an ACCOMPLISHED CHEF like you has a recipe for a yellow cake laying around. Why not USE IT and stop WHINING about things being kept simple for the less-accomplished or time-starved chefs out there. Love and Kisses! HnrSpk

Here you go 1 2 3 4 Cake 1 c. shortening 1 c. milk 2 c. sugar 3 c. self rising flour 4 eggs 1 tsp. vanilla flavoring If you want it to be chocolate add about a 1/4 to a 1/2 c. cocoa powder. This should even be easy enough for you people who can't cook for yourselves

I made this tonight, it was quick, easy and by far the best cake I have tasted in a while. I served it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I think this would also be good if you used a yellow cake mix with vanilla pudding, white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts, sorta like the girl scout cookies.

This cake is great! I also do it with chocolate cake mix of some type and 12oz of chocolate chips for a triple chocolate cake.
