Best chocolate cake I've ever made.

I'm not a huge fan of cake, but this was definitely one of the best cakes I've eaten. It probably helped there were 2 toppings on it.


Kate's Chocolate Cake from Allrecipes.com

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch Bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together cake mix and pudding mix. Make a well in the center and pour in sour cream, melted Melt®, eggs and almond extract. Beat on low speed until blended. Scrape bowl, and beat 4 minutes on medium speed. Blend in chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  3. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool to room temperature.


Satiny Chocolate Glaze

3/4 c. semisweet chocolate chips
3 T. butter
1 T. light corn syrup
1/4 t. vanilla























In a double boiler over hot, but not boiling water, combine chocolate chips, butter, and corn syrup. Stir until chips are melted and mixture is smooth, then add vanilla.



 Spread warm glaze over top of cake, letting it drizzle down the sides.

Nesquik Chocolate Whip Topping

1 c. heavy whipping cream
1 t. vanilla
1 T. confectioners' sugar
3 T. powdered Nesquik

Combine ingredients and beat until peaks form.
