Welcome to KISS: Keep it Simple Saturday. Weekends are chaotic around here, to say the least. With 5 kids, 1 dog, and 1 husband, there’s no way I’m standing in the kitchen half the day trying to cook without tripping over one or more of the above. So, this category will be for those things that can be whipped together relatively easily but still be delicious. What better place to kick off this section of the site than the chocolate aisle.
It doesn’t get much easier than this. This is PMS fodder if there ever was any (sorry, guys). You can vary the flavors, if you are so inclined, but I’ve really only ever made this for one purpose: to consume copious amounts of chocolate.
Less talk, more chocolate.
What to gather: chocolate cake mix, instant chocolate pudding, vegetable oil, eggs, chocolate chips, (You need a 6oz bag of regular sized chips. I got a 12oz bag of mini, because that’s all they had. Don’t be like me.) and water (not pictured, but it’s clear and comes from the faucet).
Preheat oven to 350° using the following totally necessary and useful photo for guidance.
While it heats up, pour the oil into a bundt pan. It will pool at the bottom, do not worry.
Swirl it around a little to coat the sides. It will still pool at the bottom, and it will still be ok.
Combine the remaining ingredients, using only half the bag of chocolate chips if you are a dork like me with a 12oz bag.
Stir until mixed. Don’t over think it.
Pour batter into pan. The oil will still be pooling. Don’t freak out. We don’t call it How 2 Stay Fat for nothing. However, if you want to get down to it, the recipe on the box to make a cake calls for 1/2 cup of oil and we only used 1/4 cup here. We’ve saved you 1/4 cup! (and added pudding mix and chocolate chips, but that’s not important now. What’s important is the 1/4 cup of oil we cut out. )
Lick spoon. Go ahead, you know you want to. It’s only me here, and I won’t think any less of you.
Bake for 40 minutes @ 350°.
Allow to cool for a few minutes, and then invert to platter to cool completely.
Dust with powdered sugar.
Die.
I have no idea where that ice cream came from.
Chocolate Chip Dump Cake
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 cup water
2 eggs
1 chocolate cake mix
1 6 oz pkg chocolate chips
1 small chocolate instant pudding
Pour oil in bundt pan to grease. (Some oil will puddle at the bottom of the pan which is fine.) Stir remaining ingredients until moist and transfer to pan. Bake 40 minutes – 350 degrees. Cool, dust with powdered sugar. Can be served with vanilla ice cream or cool whip.
I’m really glad to be so lethargically full of dinner while reading this. It looks delicious.
Holy effing hell. I love Dump Cake. I have had it made with pie filling, yellow cake mix, and a lot of butter. But this…oh this is the most deliciously evil thing I’ve seen in a long time.
omg ang…i gave up sweets for lent….nothing like torturing me with this recipe!!
21. Hi there to you, I received your write-up through my friend and she is true, your write-up is very interesting and I used to be touch by every word you select especially on how you engage them.
I saw this recipe and just had to try it out. Mine didn’t turn out quite like yours, and I changed a few ingredients, but my family loved it. Thank you for the inspiration and the delicious recipe!
I hope you don’t mind that I tried it out on my own food blog. I linked to your recipe! http://playingwithfood.posterous.com/death-by-chocolate-cake
