Ingredients
Duncan Hines Devil's Food Cake Mix
1 box (Use as is from the box.)
Large Eggs
2 (Beaten lightly.)
Water
1 1/3 cups (Use at room temperature.)
Mayonnaise
1 cup (Use store-bought for convenience.)
Chocolate Chips
1 cup (Semi-sweet or dark chocolate, optional to melt.)
Icing or Powdered Sugar
to taste (For topping, if desired.)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Grease and flour a bundt cake pan or a 9x13x2 inch cake pan to prevent sticking.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, beaten eggs, water, and mayonnaise. Mix by hand or with an electric mixer on medium speed until you achieve a smooth consistency.
4
Fold in the chocolate chips gently using a large spoon to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
5
Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes. To check for doneness, press lightly in the center; if it springs back, it is ready. If it doesn't, continue baking, checking every few minutes.
7
If using a bundt pan, once done, allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes before inverting it. Place a dinner plate on top of the bundt pan, carefully flip it over, and gently shake to release the cake.
8
For a 9x13x2 pan, use a toothpick inserted in the center; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
9
Allow the cake to cool completely before icing or dusting with powdered sugar as desired.
