Easiest Chocolate Cake

This is a recipe my mom always makes when she's short for time and wants to serve something homemade, or shall I say semi homemade!  It's super easy, and you can make the recipe in a loaf pan, bundt pan, or cupcakes.  Obviously the cooking time will vary.

Easiest Chocolate Cake
1 box Duncan Hines Devil's Food Cake Mix + Ingredients to prepare cake mix (eggs, oil, water)
1 box Jello Pudding, Chocolate Flavor
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray loaf pan (or whatever you choose to use) with non-stick spray.  Follow the back of the cake mix to prepare batter. Add, vanilla and pudding package to the batter.  Mix well.  If you choose to make the cake even more chocolatey, add chocolate chips now and mix with a spoon till well incorporated.

Pour batter into loaf pan and bake for 50 minutes.  Lower oven to 325 degrees and bake another 20 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean.

If you use any other pan, see back of cake mix bow for baking times.  A bundt pan should take about 50 minutes or so.

Enjoy!!
