Last week in the desert

I brought my favorite triple chocolate cake to our 20's group last night...but then again, I'm a chocolate fiend. You'll find me eating this for breakfast!

Nancy G's Chocolate Cake
1 box Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix
1 small package of chocolate pudding
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup water
4 eggs
1 1/2 c. mini chocolate chips (or whatever you have on hand, milk chocolate, semi-sweet)


Combine liquid ingredients + sour cream as directed on back of cake mix, fold in chocolate chips and pour into a greased bundt pan and bake for suggested time. I would check it prior to the end of baking, since it's going to be a lot denser with the addition of sour cream and chocolate pudding mix. It may take a few more minutes than a usual bundt cake from a mix.

While your cake is baking, here is the glorious frosting that is from heaven above:

1 stick margarine (I've done butter and margarine, for some reason margarine has a better flavor here)
7 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
7 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 box of Domino powdered sugar, or about 2 cups

Melt margarine in the microwave, pour into a mixing bowl, add cocoa and whipping cream. Beat until smooth, then add powdered sugar until frosting is desired consistency.
