Chocolate Chip Cake

While our visitors were here we made a chocolate chip cake. This cake is easy to make and oh so yummy so I thought I would share the recipe with my fellow bloggers...

Ingredients:

(Cake)
1 Duncan Hines Yellow Butter Cake Mix (I used Kroger brand and it was just fine)
1 small box Jello milk chocolate instant pudding (again I used Kroger brand)
8 oz. sour cream
1/4 cup water
1 cup oil
4 eggs
6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans

(Icing)
1 stick margarine
2 tablespoons cocoa
5-6 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 box powdered sugar

Directions:

(Cake)
Beat first 6 ingredients together. Add chocolate chips and pecans. Spray 13x9 pan. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes.
*This cake has a tendency to not be totally done by 40 minutes in some ovens so be sure to use a toothpick or fork to check the center before removing from oven.

(Icing)
Combine first 4 ingredients and bring to a rolling boil. Add powdered sugar and stir quickly until ready to spread. Spread evenly on cake (spreads well even if cake is still warm).


I recommend you enjoy with a tall glass of milk or coffee =)
