Choco-Holic Cake

For all you chocolate lovers out there, here is a cake I tried recently and it was a huge hit with my friends at school. The best thing about it is that it is relatively easy.

CHOCO-HOLIC CAKE

CAKE
1 chocolate cake mix of your choice (I used Pillsbury Chocolate)
1 small pkg. chocolate instant pudding and pie filling mix
1 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
4 large eggs
1 cup chopped walnuts (I used pecans and toasted them a little first.)
2 cups (12 oz. pkg.) Nestle Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels

GLAZE
2 oz. piece of Nestle Toll House Unsweetened Chocolate Baking Bar (it will be a small block)
1 1/2 cups sifted powdered sugar
3 Tblsp. butter
1-3 Tblsp. water (I had to use more to make it easier to drizzle.)
1 tsp. vanilla

FOR CAKE:

PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 12-inch Bundt pan or other tube pan. (I use the Crisco with Pillsbury flour spray. It takes less time. Just make sure you coat the entire pan.)

COMBINE cake mix, pudding mix, milk, sour cream and eggs in large mixer bowl. Beat on low speed just until blended. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes. Stir in morsels and nuts. Pour into prepared baking pan.

BAKE for 55 to 65 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in cake comes out clean.

COOL in pan for 20 minutes. Invert onto wire rack to cool completely.

FOR GLAZE:

MELT baking bar and butter in small heavy-duty saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat. Stir in powdered sugar alternately with water until desired consistency in reached. Stir in vanilla extract.

POUR glaze over cake. (I sprinkled some chopped toasted pecans on top just for looks.)
