Mama's Triple Chocolate Cake
- 1 box devil's food cake mix
- 1/2 cup oil (vegetable oil is fine, but I usually use canola or light olive)
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sour cream
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips - melted in microwave
- 1/2 can chocolate frosting (homemade will work) - melted in microwave
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Grease and flour a bundt or tube cake pan.
- Set aside.
- (9x13" May be used, but start watching for cake to be done at 35-45 minutes.)
- Do not make cake mix according to box, use this recipe's ingredients only!
- Add all listed ingredients except chocolate chips and frosting to a large bowl.
- Beat together with electric mixer on low speed until just combined.
- Continue on high speed 2 minutes more, scraping sides as necessary.
- Melt chocolate chips in microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each until smooth and pourable.
- Pour into cake batter and fold in until fully incorporated.
- Evenly pour batter into prepared cake pan.
- Shake pan and gently tap on counter to work out any air pockets.
- Place in center of oven.
- Bake for 50 - 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and cool in pan about 10 minutes then invert onto wire rack, remove pan and let cool completely.
- When cooled transfer to a serving dish or large platter.
- Melt chocolate frosting in microwave until pourable, about 30 - 35 seconds.
- Stir and drizzle over top of cake letting all the melty goodness ooze down the sides.
- Place in fridge for 1 hour to set frosting or enjoy immediately if you simply can't wait.
- Slice.
- Serve.
- Enjoy.
- Note 1: If you want some of the frosting to soak into the cake, poke two rows of holes about 1in.
- deep around the top with a chopstick or thin wooden spoon handle and make sure you pour plenty frosting into the holes!
- I like doing that from time to time (especially when doing 2 toppings).
- Helps makes the cake extra moist and crumbly.
- Mmmmm.
- Note 2: I was really craving this, but only had german chocolate cake mix, so that's what I used.
- I made a coconut caramel drizzle using fenway's salted caramel sauce recipe and it was to die for!
- "How to": Toast 1 c coconut spread out on a baking sheet in preheated oven at 300F for 5 - 7 minutes, stirring at least once.
- Make the caramel sauce (attached), let it cool for about 10 minutes, stir in coconut, let sauce cool completely.
- Stir to loosen it up, then carefully spoon evenly over cake and let it flow down the sides.
- I highly recommend this variation now!
