  • 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup oil
  • 1 cup sour cream or buttermilk
  • 3/4 cup brewed coffee
  • 2 cups Nestlé Toll House chocolate chips

Ganache Icing:

  • 1 stick salted butter
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/2 box powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 cup pecan pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan.
  2. Mix Ingredients: Combine cake mix and pudding mix in a bowl. In another bowl, whisk eggs, vanilla, oil, sour cream, and coffee. Blend and fold into dry ingredients. Stir in chocolate chips.
  3. Bake: Pour batter into pan. Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Cool and Ice: Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a plate. For the ganache, melt butter, mix in cocoa, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk. Add pecans, then pour over the cake.

Notes

  • Ensure coffee is cooled slightly before mixing.
  • Let the cake cool completely before icing to avoid melting the ganache.
