Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1 box Devil’s Food cake mix
  • 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup sour cream or buttermilk
  • 3/4 cup brewed coffee
  • 2 cups Nestle Toll House chocolate chips

For the Ganache Frosting:

  • 1/2 stick salted butter
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1/2 bag powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cake Batter:
    • Mix dry ingredients (cake mix, pudding mix) in a large bowl.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, vanilla extract, oil, sour cream/buttermilk, and coffee.
    • Combine wet and dry ingredients, mixing until smooth. Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Bake the Cake:
    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a cake pan and pour in the batter.
    • Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
    • Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a cake plate.
  • Prepare the Ganache Frosting:
    • Melt butter over low heat in a saucepan.
    • Stir in cocoa powder, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk until smooth. Optionally, add walnuts.
  • Assemble and Serve:
    • Pour the warm ganache over the cooled cake. Serve immediately or reheat ganache for an extra gooey finish.

Notes

  • Replace coffee with water for a milder flavor.
  • Skip walnuts for a nut-free version.
  • Use dark or milk chocolate chips to adjust sweetness.
  • For cupcakes, bake for 20-25 minutes at 350°F.
