I'm sure you've noticed by now that on the back of most of Aldi's boxes, bags, containers, there is a recipe for how to use them, and what to do with them. I usually try them, and every now and then come across one that begs to be shared.
Yesterday, I bought a box of Baker's Corner Devil's Food Cake for the purpose of making my Aldi-way cookies. However, when I looked at the back of the box this morning, I was presented with a picture of this thick, velvety looking cake...and well, I caved. I scoured my cabinets to see if I had all the ingredients. The only thing I was lacking was sour cream - so I substituted plain yogurt instead. :) Makes it healthy, right?
So here it is...copied from the box off Baker's Corner Devil's Food Cake Mix....
1 package Baker's Corner Devil's Food Cake Mix
4 large eggs
1 cup sour cream (as I said, I substituted plain yogurt and it worked fine)
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 package chocolate pudding & pie filling
3/4 chocolate chips (I think I used more like a cup...I like chocolate!
Preheat oven to 350.
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except chocolate chips. Beat with electric mixer or by hand. Stir in chocolate chips.
Pour into well greased Bundt pan. Bake 50-60 minutes. Cool 20 minutes in pan and remove from pan for complete cooling.
NOTE: I baked as cupcakes instead of as a bundt cake. I baked for 23 minutes (the box recommends cupcakes be baked 20-25 minutes....so I chose the middle!).

I made this last week and it's delicious! I even added a couple of heaping teaspoons of cocoa powder to mine. YUM!
ReplyDeleteI actually won a dessert competition at work using this recipe. It's definitely a keeper!
ReplyDeleteThis is by far the best chocolate cake I have ever eaten....bar none! It's moist, rich and delicious. In my opinion, it doesn't require icing but if you don't think a cake is a cake without frosting, go for it. I don't think I'd do anything more than drizzle a chocolate glaze over it. Anything more would be overkill in my estimation.
ReplyDeleteTry adding a tablespoon or two of instant espresso powder. It takes it to the next level!
ReplyDeleteI added fresh blackberries which made it even moister. Great with a dab of whip cream instead of frosting.
