13 ingredients
10 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 (18 ounce) box yellow cake mix
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Icing
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup butter (I use I can't Believe it is not butter light)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 375.
  2. 2
    Spray Bundt cake with non-stick.
  3. 3
    Microwave chocolate with 20-30 sec intervals. Stir and repeat until most of the chocolate is melt but not all (usually takes 1 minute). I usually do not let it melt completely, which creates a nice effect in the cake.
  4. 4
    Combine cake mix, eggs, vanilla extract, sour cream, vegetable oil, sugar and water. Beat on high for around 3 minutes.
  5. 5
    Stir third of the batter into the melted chocolate, mix well.
  6. 6
    Spread half of the vanilla batter in the pan, then the chocolate batter and then the rest of the vanilla batter. Swirl the batters with a butter knife to create the marble effect.
  7. 7
    Bake for 35-40 minutes, cool for 20 minutes in pan, remove from pan and cool completely.
  8. 8
    For the icing: melt the chocolate and butter (you can do this in the microwave as well, but be careful).
  9. 9
    Cool the mix for 5-10 minutes, add sour cream and then the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time.
  10. 10
    Spread the icing on the cake when it has cooled completely.
