List of Ingredients




1 (18.25 ounces) box plain devil's food cake mix
1 (3.9 ounces) box instant chocolate pudding mix
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs


Recipe



1. preheat oven to 350 degress F.
2. grease 2 (9") round cake pans.
3. dust with flour and tap out the excess.
4. set pans aside.
5. place the cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, water, oil, and eggs in a large mixing bowl.
6. blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute.
7. stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
8. on medium low speed continue to blend for 2-3 minutes more.
9. the batter will be very thick and should look well combined.
10. pour batter into prepared pans and smooth it out.
11. bake for 27-32 minutes (since i switched pans i started checking the cakes at 25 minutes-- it was like gooey chocolate pudding-- then 3 minutes later it was perfect. another couple of minutes and i think it would have been dry so keep an eye on your cakes).
12. allow to cool in the pans on a wire rack for 20 minutes.
13. now is the time to start preparing your frosting.
14. run a knife along the edges on the cakes pans and carefully remove cake by inverting it and allow to cool for 20 minutes more on the wire rack right side up.
15. when the cake layers are completely cool cut layers in half (save a domed layer for the top-- it makes your cakes look homemade) and frost.
