• 1 (12 ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup melted chocolate or 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

2. Stir together cake mix, instant pudding mix, sour cream, oil, water and eggs.
3. Mix in chocolate chips and beat 2 minutes at medium speed.

5. Drizzle melted chocolate or confectioners' sugar over the cake.

Notes

* 18.25 ounce boxes of cake mix have been replaced by 16.5 ounce and 15.25 ounce boxes. To compensate for the volume loss in a 16 ounce box, whisk 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour into the dry cake mix before proceeding with the recipe. To compensate for the volume loss in a 15.25 ounce box, add 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.

Using a Bundt pan also works well.
