Lazy Heifer Chocolate Cake

As most of you know, I like to bake.

And as most of you know, I'm also a lazy heifer.

Heck, there are days I'm so lazy that it's a struggle to extend my pinky over to the 'shift' key to type uppercase letters.

as a matter of fact... screw the shift key. you're lucky there's punctuation today.

anyways, the recipe. this is the recipe that i make when i need an awesome cake... fast! this is the cake that i take to almost every family gathering and every potluck function (there happens to be a work picnic tomorrow). it gets rave reviews every single time and it's super easy to make!


lazy heifer chocolate cake

1 devil's food cake mix (no pudding in mix - duncan hines is what i use)

1 pkg chocolate instant pudding mix (don't be an uber lazy heifer and use a cake mix with pudding already in the mix. trust me on this. you want to add your own pudding.)

4 large eggs

1 8oz container of sour cream

1/2 cup warm water

1/2 cup canola oil

1/2 bag milk chocolate chips

tub of milk chocolate icing

heat oven to 350. lightly grease bundt pan. combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, entire container of sour cream, water and oil with electric mixer. fold in chocolate chips. pour into bundt pan. bake 40-45 mins.

cool. (yes, I am. but the cake needs to cool too.)

heat icing in microwave in 10 second intervals. stir between each heating. should only take 30 seconds to get to the proper consistency for a glaze. drizzle about 1/2 the container over the cooled cake.

now, as a lazy heifer, you'll notice that you have a half a tub of icing and a half a bag of chocolate chips left over. you could save them for another time or you could put on some stretchy pants, grab a spoon and dim the lights.
