With Valentine’s just around the corner, you have got to have a chocolate recipe. If it was up to my husband, it would be a chocolate cake just like this frosted chocolate sour cream bundt cake!
This cake all begins with a box mix, but the addition of dry pudding mix and sour cream makes this can even more tender and moist. Chocolate chips are mixed into the batter to up the chocolate factor.
This bundt cake would be great as is, but chocolate cake is even better with chocolate frosting on top. The frosting put on top of the cake is even more decadent because it is prepared with cream instead of milk. This cake will appease any chocolate lover and will be amazing to serve on Valentines.
