Death By Chocolate Cake

I got this one from my sister, Natalie. It's a Double Dark Chocolate Cake (dark in the cake and dark in the glaze). The only difference in our recipes is that she uses a microwave to make the glaze and I prefer a double-boiler method. It is Deeeee-lish!

Double Dark Chocolate Cake

Preheat oven to 350.

Mix together for 2 minutes:

Dark chocolate cake mix (Ghirardelli makes one)

1 small instant chocolate fudge pudding

1 cup sour cream

1 cup milk

1/2 cup vegetable oil

4 eggs

Stir in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Grease bundt pan, bake 50-55 minutes at 350.

Cool 10 minutes, turn out cake and cool THOROUGHLY before glazing.

GLAZE

2 oz semi-sweet baking chocolate (60% cacao bittersweet - Ghirardelli)

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

3 Tbsp butter

2 Tbsp water

1 tsp vanilla

Melt chocolate & butter in a double boiler (I put a metal mixing bowl inside a medium sauce pan full of boiling water. OR melt butter and chocolate in the microwave in 30 second intervals, until melted. Add powdered sugar alternately with water. Add vanilla. Pour over cake.
