Ingredients

  • 1 package chocolate cake mix (regular size)
  • 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1-1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • RASPBERRY SAUCE:
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen sweetened raspberries, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Confectioners' sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mixes, eggs, water and oil; beat on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium 2 minutes. Fold in chocolate chips.
  2. Pour into a well-greased 10-in. fluted tube pan. Bake 60-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
