♥Chocolate Passion Cake♥


Overall I think I'm a pretty passionate person. I have a fervent passion for my family. I have an enthusiastic passion for my friends,pets, music, work,(shoes!) and just life in general! .... But what I want to share with my Sunday Scribblings friends is my extraordinary passion for FOOD, especially if that food is Chocolate! I want to share my passion for chocolate with y♥u! However, you need to help me share my passion, by doing a little bit of (Very easy) baking... The reward will certainly be worth your while! Here in NY, We are having quite a snow storm today. To me SNOW=BAKING. Nothing better than coming inside after some serious shoveling, to find a cup of hot chocolate and a BIG hunk of what l have appropriately named - Chocolate Passion cake! :)) (mind you, I never DO the serious shoveling, my husband and boys insist they do it without my help, BUT I do a little serious waving at them out the window and I am serious about always having the snacks all ready! )

You need- a Bundt pan
1 box of Duncan Hines Choc. cake mix
1 box of instant choc. pudding mix
8 oz. of sour cream
4 eggs
1/2 cup of oil
3/4 cup of water
1 cup of choc. chips (save till end of mixing)

Mix all ingredients (except chips) together
beat for 2 minutes. Fold in choc. chips
pour into greased bundt pan
bake for about 50 minutes at 325 (dark pans)
check with toothpick, but don't insert in a chip!

Let cool for 10 min.( my bundt PAN came with adamant directions that it shouldn't cool a minute longer!)
invert cake onto a nice serving dish
let cool completely and sprinkle with
powdered sugar. IT is SO Delicious, hope it makes your mouth and senses passionately aroused! ♥

<-- this is a picture of the cake cooing, I really like this new bundt pan I got at Costco


Ta Da! Here it is all d♥ne ->
I just learned how to make these hearts, maybe I over used them a bit!!



Instead of serious shoveling, I also enjoyed some serious soaking looking at the beautiful snow!

I thought only norwegians did crazy things like bathe while it's freezing outside ;)

Pirate Princess said...

Looks so yummy, wish I could have a bite. I'm allergic to dairy and chocolate, so it's out for me, but maybe I'll pass the recipe onto my kids - they'd LOVE it! :)

Looks like the cake is sprinkled with snow.

Blossom May said to tell you she's ecstatic I gave her a second chance <^..^> ... plus I changed that wording ;)

Oh my gosh, SNOW = BAKING for me, too! Baking, tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. All those things are what I think of immediately when it starts snowing. Of course, I live in Dallas now so there isn't much snow. :)

Oh my! Thanks for sharing the recipe, sounds like it will go perfectly with a cup of yummy coffee. Seriously, I need to make this cake...

Deirdre said...

Oh, yum. It's raining here too, quite a storm, and I've got a baking bug too. Unfortunately, no hot tub. Have a great day.
