Ingredients
  

Cake Ingredients

  • 1 box red velvet cake mix 15.25 ounces
  • 1 box instant chocolate pudding mix 3.9 ounces
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup butter melted
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips I used mini chocolate chips.

Frosting Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2-3 tablespoons heavy cream as needed

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Generously grease and flour a Bundt pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, sour cream, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer and mix until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips gently. Don't overmix-let them swirl in like little treasure bits.
  • Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean (a little melted chocolate is okay!).
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then carefully flip it onto a wire rack or cake plate to cool completely.

Frosting

  • To make the frosting, start with a large mixing bowl. Cream together the butter, vanilla and cream cheese. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until fluffy.
  • If the frosting is too thick, add heavy cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a thick but pipeable consistency.
  • Transfer the frosting to a piping bag with a large round tip. Pipe thick ribbons of frosting from the top of the cake down the sides to mimic the signature nothing bundt cake look.
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Optional toppings include a small handful of chocolate chips, red velvet cake crumbs, or pretty sprinkles.
