recipe of the week: triple chocolate bliss cake.

normally when a recipe calls for 1 box of chocolate cake mix, i quickly turn the page. i like the 'from scratch' sorts as it's really not hard to make a cake mix...but this cake perked my interest and i have to say i'm sorry for my past bias.

cake

1 pkg (2 layer) chocolate cake mix (i used devil food cake)
1C sour cream
1 pkg (4 serving size) jello instant chocolate pudding mix
4 eggs
1/2C veg oil
1/2C water

preheat oven to 350 degree and grease a 12C fluted tube/bunt pan.
mix everything together.
pour into pan.
bake for 45 min-1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
cool completely on a wire rack

icing

3C thawed coolwhip
1 pkg (8 pieces) semi-sweet baker's chocolate

reserve 2Tbs coolwhip for decorating.
microwave remaining coolwhip and chocolate 1-2 mins and mix well.
pour over cake.
spoon a little blob of coolwhip around the top of cake and drag out edges with toothpick to create a star.

fill the centre with raspberries, i didn't bother.

can we tell who this cake is sponsored by? hurrah for kraft! this cake was so good. i don't have a picture for you because it was all eaten too fast, luckily the kraft website thought ahead. i have to say, my cake looked just as good as kraft's...minus the raspberries.
