Indulge in the luxurious taste of this dreamy chocolate cake with a smooth and creamy frosting that will melt in your mouth.
Ingredients
| 1 | (18 ounce) box chocolate cake mix |
|---|---|
| 5 | 5 ounces chocolate instant pudding |
| 1 | cup 1 cup sour cream |
| 1 | cup 1 cup oil |
| ½ | cup ½ cup warm milk |
| 4 | 4 eggs |
| 1 | cup 1 cup mini chocolate chip |
| 3 ½ | tablespoons 3 ½ tablespoons cornstarch |
| 2 | 2 cups milk |
| 1 | cup 1 cup margarine |
| 1 | cup 1 cup butter |
| 2 | 2 cups white sugar |
| 1 | teaspoon 1 teaspoon vanilla |
Instructions
| 1. | In a large mixing bowl, beat the cake ingredients by hand, ensuring not to use an electric mixer. |
|---|---|
| 2. | Pour the batter into a well-prepared 9x13 baking pan. |
| 3. | Bake at 350°F for 40-45 minutes or until perfectly done. |
| 4. | Meanwhile, in a deep glass mixing bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the cold milk. |
| 5. | Heat the mixture in the microwave on medium-high heat, whisking frequently until it comes to a gentle boil. |
| 6. | Continue cooking until the mixture thickens, then set it aside to cool. |
| 7. | It's crucial that the gel-like mixture is soft enough to be spooned but firm enough not to be pourable. If overcooked, simply whisk in a little warm milk until smooth. |
| 8. | In a separate bowl, beat the margarine, butter, sugar, and vanilla until creamy and smooth. |
| 9. | Add the cooled gel mixture to the bowl and beat until the frosting becomes properly set. |
| 10. | Frost the completely cooled cake, garnish with almonds, and optionally drizzle with melted chocolate for an extra touch of elegance. |
