Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake Recipe

I’m not sure if you know this, but bundt cakes are huge in the south.

I grew up eating bundt cake my whole life and they truly just fill me up with nostalgia. My mom would frequently make different variations of bundt cakes and have them ready to eat as a sweet snack after school while I did my homework. Both of my grandmothers were notorious for making their delicious sour cream bundt cakes any time the grandkids would visit and we loved it.

So, for today’s recipe, I decided to pay them each a little homage and share my version of a bundt cake… with chocolate chips!

This chocolate chip bundt cake recipe is sort of like a mix between a soft chocolate chip cookie and a yummy vanilla cake. My kids absolutely love it and I am looking forward to the day when I get to teach them how to make it themselves so they can continue the tradition of passing down family recipes.

Ingredients Needed To Make This Yellow Bundt Cake With Chocolate Chips

To make this bundt cake at home, these are the ingredients you will need:

  • Eggs: Make sure you let the eggs sit at room temperature before adding them to the batter.
  • Sour Cream: Sour cream helps make the cake creamy and gives it a bit of tartness.
  • Vegetable Oil: This oil not only helps bind all of the ingredients together but also helps keep the cake moist.
  • Yellow Cake Mix: Yellow cake mix has always been a huge favorite in our family and it works perfectly in this recipe!
  • Instant Vanilla Pudding: This ingredient really intensifies the flavor of vanilla but also gives the bundt cake that creaminess that helps the cake from drying out.
  • Semi-Sweet Mini Chocolate Chips: I decided to go with semi-sweet because milk chocolate chips were a bit too sweet for this cake recipe.
  • Chocolate Bar: I know we already added in the chocolate chips but adding in a bit of a grated chocolate bar allows for delicious chocolate throughout the cake… who doesn’t like that?
  • Powdered Sugar: This part is optional and purely for decoration. So, if you feel like this cake has enough sugar going on, you can simply omit it.

To really step up your cake game, serve this chocolate chip bundt cake with a scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream!

Yes! I use a baking spray or shortening to grease the pan before adding in the cake batter.

You can! Our family loves yellow cake, but you can always swap it out for another kind of cake mix. I recommend a vanilla or chocolate cake mix.
