Perfect Chocolate Cake

Perfect Chocolate Cake, Rich and Moist

Perfect Chocolate Cake was the birthday cake Mom made me for many of my childhood birthdays.  Most of the family didn't have the sweet tooth that my Dad and I shared, so not everyone had a piece of my birthday cake. 

 

I chose the cake that I wanted for my birthday and, as a kid, it was almost always this Perfect Chocolate Cake.  It is made with a chocolate cake mix, an instant chocolate pudding mix and chocolate chips.  It is a rich cake that I prefer to warm a bit in the microwave so that the chocolate chips are melted.  Oh so good! 

 

You can use any "plain" boxed chocolate cake mix that you prefer.  I don't recommend German Chocolate or Red Velvet.  I usually use Devil's Food, but I have use fudge varieties as well.

 

The pudding mix added to the cake mix makes the cake more moist.  I have used semi-sweet, bittersweet and milk chocolate chips in the cake.  I prefer either semi-sweet or bittersweet.  Milk chocolate chips add too much sweetness for my taste.  You could use milk chocolate chips if you like the sweetness.

 

At first, Mom did add chocolate frosting to the cake, which made it even more rich!  I prefer cakes without frosting, so when Mom, or I, made the cake, we didn't frost it.  Once it completely cools, you can dust it with powdered sugar, if you'd like to do so.

 

The cake freezes well.  I usually freeze it in individual slices so I can just defrost one piece at a time.

 

When I became an adult, I chose a Cream Cheese Pound Cake as my birthday cake.  The pound cake was more appealing to the family.  I still love the Perfect Chocolate Cake!

 

I hope you enjoy the Perfect Chocolate Cake!
