Chocolate-Chocolate Cake (Bundt Cake)

PaulaG's Note:

This recipe is from Wilton and was printed on the packaging to my new bundt pan. With 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, it can't be all bad! I glaze this cake with my Orange Chocolate Glaze found in Sesame Spice Cake With Chocolate Orange Glaze Sesame Spice Cake With Chocolate Orange Glaze.

Yummy! It has the flavor of a brownie.

I used a silicone mold of the proper size and reduced the sugar to 1 1/2 c. The batter did fill the pan to about an inch from the top, it did rise, but not even to the rim and it fell a bit, but I baked it an hour even though I used a convection oven. It was very moist, not cakey at all. More like a fudgy brownie. The chips, although dusted with flour first, still sank, and made the surface a bit unattractive. I covered it with chocolate glaze. It unmolded just fine. Tasted very good and chocolately.

I made this for my sis-in-law's birthday and frosted it with Kittencal's Chocolate Frosting/Icing. I didn't actually eat it myself (I don't like chocolate), but the in-laws said it was great - very moist. I might add a touch of cinnamon to the batter next time, or maybe mix a little instant coffee in with the milk. My only complaint was that the batter overflowed from my cake pan once it started to rise - even though I used a bundt pan of the stated size. Next time I'll fill the pan less and make cupcakes out of the extra batter.
