On Friday night, I co-hosted a party, and in the spirit of Christmas, I made a cake for it in the shape of a ring of trees, with a train chugging along the bottom edge of it! It even snowed on my cake, thanks to a dab of powdered sugar. Unfortunately, this was the only cake photo from the party...Nordicware cake pans are awesome, huh?
DIY Time: Today, I'm giving you all the recipe for the bundt cake pictured above: Darn Good Chocolate Cake. It is quite possibly one of the most wonderful chocolate cakes I've ever made, and anybody can do it! Don't judge me because it has a cake mix in it, just try it, you won't regret it.
Darn Good Chocolate Cake
4 large eggs
1/2 c. vegetable oil
1/2 c. warm water
1 Devil's Food cake mix
1 pkg. instant chocolate pudding
1 c. sour cream
1 1/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray bundt pan with Baker's Choice, or grease and flour the pan. In a mixing bowl, mix together the eggs, vegetable oil and warm water. Then add the cake mix, pudding and sour cream. Mix until all ingredients combined. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour batter into greased and floured bundt pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.

lauryn-Thanks! If you make it you'll think it's even more amazing. :)
Beautiful! I made that cake to take to a family this past Sunday while I was snowed in, but I didn't have your lovely tree/train cake pan.
