Crazy 5-Ingredient Chocolate Cake

I didn't think it was possible, but with just 5 ingredients (and an optional 6th), this dessert is kind of a cross between a brownie and a cake - it's thick a fudgy and moist and goes perfect with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Since this recipe is super foolproof, I had my saint of a boyfriend make this for a 4th of July cookout at my parents' place... he got all the credit for the best dessert at the party... of course.

Servings: 1 bundt serves 8-12 people

Prep Time: 10 min

Total Time: 1 hr

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 16-oz carton of sour cream

• 1 egg

• 1 box of chocolate cake mix

• 1 box of instant chocolate pudding

• 1 bag of mini chocolate chips

• 1 carton chocolate icing (optional for decorating)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees and grease a bundt pan.

2. Combine all ingredients except for the icing and 1/3 of the chocolate chips - the batter should have the consistency of play-dough.

3. Add mixture to the prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool in the pan for a half hour before inverting the cake onto a serving plate. If the cake will not come out of the pan, gently run a clean knife along the edges and try again.

4. For a garnish, you can dust powdered sugar on top, but what I like to do is melt the chocolate icing in a bowl in the microwave and drizzle over the top of the cake. Then sprinkle the top with the remaining chocolate chips.
