Oh yes, make sure you take a good look at all that chocolate heaven almost dripping off the plate.

I was so excited when Tina announced what this month’s challenge would be for the Crazy Cooking Challenge!

Photobucket

Chocolate Cake!

And all I had to do was find a recipe from someone else’s blog, bake, and then write about it.  I had scoped out a few possibilities then Affair from the Heart posted this. Chocolate Bliss Cake. But it’s not just the cake, it was also raspberry sauce and devonshire cream. When Michaela makes something you get the whole experience!

I gathered up my ingredients and headed into the kitchen.

Hubby loved the Devonshire Cream but the kids and I preferred the sweeter whipped cream.
This cake didn’t last long in our house.

    November 6, 2013 at 7:30 am

    I’m making this for sure. It looks divine! What is this challenge everyone is talking about??

    • Joan Hayes says

      November 6, 2013 at 9:32 pm

      Thanks Sheila, the challenge was for a group of bloggers to all make something on the same day and then share with each other. This challenge happened once a month and lasted for just the one year.

  52. Mary says

    November 6, 2013 at 7:38 am

    Am I missing something here? There was a mention of raspberry sauce, but there are no ingredients nor are there any instructions for it….and yes the cake looks amazing, but I would love the raspberry sauce to go with it…

  53. Patti says

    November 8, 2013 at 11:57 am

    For the Chocolate Bliss Cake, do I use the instant or cook pudding? I’d like to make this for my Grandson’s birthday cake in a couple days.

    • Joan Hayes says

      November 8, 2013 at 7:42 pm

      The Instant pudding Patti, I’ll clarify that in the recipe!

      • jane says

        October 25, 2014 at 3:19 pm

        You don’t mix the pudding (with milk) before adding to cake mix, correct? You just use the pudding powder?

        • Joan Hayes says

          October 25, 2014 at 8:42 pm

          Yes, just use the dry pudding mix. Enjoy!

  54. Sandy_of_WV says

    November 12, 2013 at 2:13 pm

    Please add to the recipe what “size” pudding and if “instant” or “cook” kind.
    Thx! 🙂

    • Joan Hayes says

      November 12, 2013 at 3:07 pm

      Just did, thanks!

        thx! … 🙂

    December 16, 2013 at 12:26 pm

    I pour the topping over the cake, then where do I put the Lincolnshire cream?

    Thanks,

    • Joan Hayes says

      December 17, 2013 at 12:02 pm

      The Devonshire cream is served on the side as an optional topping.

  56. Cheryl Audrey says

    December 16, 2013 at 1:42 pm

    You say 3 cups of cool whip, would you have to buy three containers of cool whip? It never measures out correctly.

    • Joan Hayes says

      December 18, 2013 at 9:05 am

      If you buy the 8 ounce container of Cool Whip, you’ll be pretty close to the 3 cups. I had to do a little math to verify. The serving size is 2 tablespoons and 25 servings (50 tablespoons) per container. 16 tablespoons=1 cup. 50 tablespoons = 3.125 cups. A little extra cool whip won’t hurt anything!

      • Cheryl says

        January 7, 2014 at 9:31 pm

        Thank you Joan.

        I never realized how you have to do the math, even when it comes to baking.

  57. Jen says

    December 16, 2013 at 9:27 pm

    This cake looks amazing. I have kind off a stupid question, are you serving the Devonshire cream on the side with the cake or is it mixed in somewhere?

    • Joan Hayes says

      December 17, 2013 at 11:57 am

      It’s served on the side as an option.

  58. Sara says

    January 7, 2014 at 10:47 am

    Hello 🙂 this cake looks so delicious. Thank you for sharing 🙂
    Please can you tell me… If I dont have a bundt pan, can I substitute it by using a 9×13″ glass baking dish? Will it still turn out the same?
    Thank you for your input 🙂

    • Joan Hayes says

      January 7, 2014 at 8:08 pm

      Yes you can use a 9×13 baking dish. Your cooking time will be less, probably by about 15-25 minutes so check your cake, using a toothpick at about 35 minutes. It will still taste delicious!

  59. Jennifer Rusnak says

    May 13, 2014 at 10:12 pm

    What’s the best way to store the cake? Will it need to be refrigerated? Covered? Uncovered? I’m not sure about the cool whip/chocolate. I can’t wait to taste it!

    • Joan Hayes says

      May 15, 2014 at 9:41 pm

      I stire it in the refrigerator, loosely covered but bring it to room temperature for serving.

    • Cheryl says

      May 15, 2014 at 11:22 pm

      Be sure to use the entire12 ounce package of chocolate chips. My husband starting munching on them, and I used less than 12 ounces, and it was not as thick as it should have been.

      I made mine in a 13×9 inch cake instead of the bundt pan, and I covered it when storing in the refrigerator. I would also cover the bundt pan, but be careful because the frosting may stick.

  60. alejandra says

    July 15, 2014 at 10:25 pm

    Dumb question but do I need to make the pudding first then mix it with the cake mix? Or mix everything together, and can I use any chocolate cake mix like devils food?

    • Joan Hayes says

      July 17, 2014 at 8:45 am

      You use the pudding as the dry mix, not prepared. And yes, use whatever brand cake mix you like. Enjoy!

  61. Jenny says

    August 4, 2014 at 3:43 am

    This chocolate cake came out perfectly. Will definitely be making again. Thank you for sharing.

  62. Carolyn says

    August 14, 2014 at 11:10 am

    Why do you use cake mixes and instant pudding??? That seems crazy to me if you are touting your baking skills. What is your rationale for not baking from scratch? Scratch is so much better and you actually have control over what goes into your baked goods. All those processed food you use have preservatives and chemical stabilizers and additives in them. Not so healthy!

    • Joan Hayes says

      August 14, 2014 at 9:57 pm

      There are plenty of from scratch recipes on this site. I’m not opposed to box mixes and would never judge someone for using them. My philosophy on baking is to get in the kitchen and make something, then enjoy it with family and friends. It really doesn’t matter what ingredients you’re using as long as the main one is love. That’s all anyone will remember later anyway. That someone took the time to make something for them instead of buying it at the store already made.

  63. Lydia says

    August 15, 2014 at 3:38 am

    I made this as my husband’s birthday cake and he loved it! The only change I made was instead of serving with raspberries and cream, I chopped up some peanut butter cups and sprinkled them all around the edge of the cake. It was a huge hit! I used the recommended one cup of chocolate chips for the fan ache but the frosting was much thinner than in the picture. Next time I will try using the entire 12 oz. bag. Thank you for the great recipe!

  64. janeen says

    December 12, 2014 at 4:34 pm

    I have a 12 cup nordic bundt. There are different sizes. What size is this recipe for?

    • Joan Hayes says

      December 13, 2014 at 8:33 am

      I used a 10 cup bundt pan so the 12 cup will be fine. Enjoy!
