Everything is Unfinished

The first thing I whipped up in my new Purple Mixer of Awesomeness was my birthday cake. (Yes, I made my own birthday cake. 32 is not exactly a major milestone, big bash kind of year.) The cake was so delicious, I have to share the recipe with you.

Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake
Ingredients
1 packaged yellow cake mix
1 small box vanilla instant pudding
1 small box chocolate instant pudding
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup oil
1 1/2 cups water
4 eggs

Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat all ingredients except eggs and chocolate chips for 2 minutes. Add eggs, beat 1 more minute. Fold in chocolate chips. Pour into greased bundt pan. Bake for 1 hour.

So easy, and sooooo moist. In fact, there was one piece left last week, about 10 days after it was baked, and it still tasted fresh. I topped it with a glaze made from powdered sugar, water and a bit of vanilla. Here’s a tip about the glaze: don’t use very much water, or else it will just slide off the cake and pool in the middle and you’ll have to keep waiting for it to set up a little and spooning it back on.

Everyone should make this cake! I got the recipe from my friend Jen about a year and a half ago and this was the first time I tried it. Should have done it long ago.
