Easy Dump Cake

I had half of a 15 oz chocolate cake mix. Since this recipe called for the old 18 oz size mix I added 1/4 cup Bisquick as a quick filler and halved the rest of the ingredients with a good dash of salt added. I also threw in fresh cranberries. Baked in a 9” square non stick metal pan at 320 convection for 48 min…so delicious. I’m thinking the size was perfect for my house and I might split my next cake mix in half too.

This is delicious, I put powdered sugar on top. This taste just like the chocolate muffins from Costco!!!!

Fine for a quick cake to take to a potluck. Didn't realize that the cake mix I bought was 15.25 oz. (rather than 18.25 oz.) Couldn't find chocolate instant pudding so I used vanilla instead and that box was 5.1 oz. (rather than 5.9). So I used a scant 2/3c vegetable oil, a scant 1/3c water and 1/2c sugar based on another review, and Guittard extra dark chocolate chips for more flavor. Those measurements worked out fine for this. Also added chocolate hazelnut cocoa to the flour so the cake wouldn't look white when it came out of the pan, based on another review. Great tip! Maybe it depends on the brand of mixes used but it tasted a bit of artificial flavoring which the cake mix and pudding mixes both have. I dusted it with powdered sugar... it was a beautiful bundt cake!

Super easy to make. I used devils food cake mix and a small box of vanilla pudding and dark chocolate chips because that’s what I had. Very good. My husband really liked it without any icing or glaze. I will make again to try different flavors. Using a bundt cake pan is a nice touch.

Very easy, delicious and moist. I used cherry chip mix and vanilla pudding. I am looking forward to trying other combinations!
