Simple Chocolate Cake Mix Recipes

Ingredients

Baking a cake from a mix is one of the easiest ways to make a delicious and sweet treat. Whether you are a beginner baker or a seasoned pro, this simple chocolate cake mix recipe is sure to please. This recipe uses a simple store-bought cake mix, so there's no need to worry about measuring out all the individual ingredients. To make this recipe, you'll need one box of chocolate cake mix, three large eggs, one teaspoon of vanilla extract, one cup of water, one-third cup of vegetable oil, and one-half cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Instructions

To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, eggs, vanilla extract, water, and vegetable oil. Beat the mixture until it is well-combined. Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir until they are evenly dispersed throughout the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly.

Bake the cake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving and Storing

Once the cake is completely cooled, you can serve it as is or top it with a dusting of powdered sugar, some fresh whipped cream, or a drizzle of melted chocolate. This cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. It can also be frozen for up to three months.
