~Chocolate~

A dear friend of mine has requested I post this sweet treat, and I'd have to agree, it is pretty wonderful! Once again, I have to give credit to Paula Deen :) The pudding mixes in this cake make it so moist and light! Enjoy!

Chocolate Chip Pound Cake

4 eggs
1 1/2 cups water
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 package butter cake recipe
1 (3.4oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix
1 (3.4oz) package instant chocolate pudding mix
1/2 cup melted butter
1/4 cup vegetable oil
6-ounces chocolate chips
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Preheat the oven 350 degrees. Grease and flour a tube pan or bundt pan. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs, water, and vanilla by hand. Stir in the cake mix and pudding mixes. Slowly add the butter and oil, and mix well. Stir in the chocolate chips. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes, then invert onto a cake plate. Sift confectioners' sugar over the cake.
