Our Version of Nothing Bundt Cakes' Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cake


(re-post of original post 9/5/08) This is a MUST TRY. There are few things I love more than Nothing Bundt Cakes. They are pricey, but worth it. If you don't have a Nothing Bundt Cakes nearby the next best thing is to make your own. I have tried my hand at several bundt cakes and this one (so far) is my favorite!

1 pkg. devils food cake, German chocolate cake, or chocolate cake mix
1 pkg. instant chocolate pudding
1 c. sour cream
4 large eggs
1/2 c. water
1/2 c. oil
1 1/2 c. mini chocolate chips
2 (8 ounce) pkgs. cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. butter, softened
3-4 c. powdered sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract

Mix first six ingredients together with a beater. Add chocolate chips. Pour into a greased bunt cake pan (cooking spray works best). Cook in oven at 350 degrees for 45-50 mins. Remove from oven. Let cool for 20 mins. Remove from pan. (I think it tastes best if you put it on a serving plate, wrap it well in Saran Wrap, and let it sit overnight in the fridge before frosting and serving..) In a medium bowl, cream together the cream cheese and butter until creamy. Mix in the vanilla, then gradually stir in the powdered sugar (start with 2 cups then keep adding more until it is nice and thick). That's it!

You have inspired me, this should help me get all of those loose pieces of paper organized. I don't have pictures but I will have to keep my camera next to the kitchen so that I can add them at a later date.

My cousin found your blog when she was looking for cafe rio pork recipes. She tried it and said it was perfect.
We must practically be neighbors, I live pretty close to the Nothing Bundt Cakes on State. I've heard they're amazing, but I've never tried one. I think I'll just make your recipe instead!

I have to post another THANK YOU from another one of your fans! I made this for my book club and everyone ate three pieces and took a piece home! They loved it! I found that it made a TON of frosting, even when I layered it on, I still had about a cup extra. I used big chocolate chips because I couldn't find minis that weren't a strange generic brand. It was delightful!

Patty said...

Oh my gosh! This is the BEST! Tastes just like the original and loads cheaper. LOVE your site and blogs=)

gaylynn said...

Do you use the large or small box of pudding??? Excited to try today!

Erica said...

Just the small box, but I'm sure if you used the large box it would be fine.

Kristelle said...

Ok, so the choice of 3 different chocolate cake recipes is puzzling me... which do I choose? What has been the choice for everyone else? I tried the samples at the Women's expo and it was TO DIE FOR! I just can't justify spending over $30 for a cake though! Thanks so much for posting!

Cat said...

Wonderful copy! I made these for my daughter's birthday as cupcakes. And I am making it for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow.

Oh, and I am featuring you on He Married Me For My Cooking. Thanks for sharing!

Alison said...

My man said
"that's the BEST cake you've EVER MADE"!

Thanks!

Kristen said...

What is the frosting recipe?
Thanks!

Christine said...

I love nothing bunt cakes, but we moved to the east coast and there aren't any out here. Do you have any ideas for some of their other flavors? Like this May they are going to have an almond poppy seed bundt, yum! Loved this recipe!

Erica said...

I'm working on the white chocolate raspberry right now. I will post it as soon as I get it right! I love the poppy seed too.. I will have to do that one next

chris said...

What size package chocolate pudding?

Erica said...

There are usually 2 sizes. Use the smaller one, I am sure the larger one would be ok too though

O'haras said...

This cake was FABULOUS!
Oh IF you are working on other flavors please keep us posted. I tried the White Chocolate Blueberry the other night, OMG it was a.m.a.z.i.n.g!
Wonderful blog,
Anne.

Mary said...

This is amazing. I am new to your blog, so I took some time to browse through your earlier posts. I'm so glad I did that. I really like the food and recipes you share with your readers and I'll definitely be back. I hope you have a wonderful day. Blessings...Mary

Kathy said...

I need to buy a bundt cake pan, what size is best for this recipe?

Erica said...

Just the typical size (I think they are 8-9"), you can even use the little bundtlet pans if you want, just reduce the time and keep checking on them until they are done.

Mrs. Schmidty said...

I live near a Nothing Bundt Cakes store, but I missed getting my hubby one for his birthday (today)! They were closed when I "dropped by" yesterday evening. So... I'm trying your recipe. It's in the oven!! I'm excited to serve it to him!

Kerri said...

I'm so excited to try this--it's actually in the oven right now. I am nervous about the frosting. How did you make it look so... PERFECT? Do I need any special instructions?

Erica said...

If you don't have a frosting tip big enough to do the "finger" look.. try putting the frosting in a Ziploc bag and cut the end where you would like. practice on an up-side down bowl a few times before doing it on the cake. Hope this helps! --Erica

Kerri said...

Thank you! I'm so excited I stumbled across your blog. Thanks for sharing your talents!

netscot said...
