Decadent Chocolate Cake

 

INGREDIENTS:

1 package devils food cake mix

1 package (4 serving size) devils food instant pudding

1 cup fat free sour cream

1 1/3 cups fat free egg product (or 4 eggs)

½ cup vegetable oil

½ cup water

semi or bitter sweet chocolate (1 bar or a good sized chunk)

1 ½ cups fresh raspberries

 

DIRECTIONS:

1.Preheat the oven to 350 and spray a fluted tube pan with cooking spray.

2.Beat cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, eggs, oil and water in a large bowl for about 2 minutes then pour into the tube pan.

3.Bake for 1 hour (toothpick test it for doneness).  Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

4.For serving, place the cake on a serving plate.  Melt down your chocolate either in the microwave or in a small sauce pan over a low heat.  At this point you can add butter to your chocolate to make it creamier, or add a flavored liqueur (like Grand Marnier for a hint of orange).  Drizzle the chocolate mixture over the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides.  Spoon raspberries into the center of the cake.
