Inside-out Chocolate Bundt Cake

Submitted by Ellenkjl

"This cake is so moist and you don't even use oil or butter. We got the recipe from a lady at church. It is easy to make and is always a hit. Whenever we take it to a pot-luck, we don't get to bring any home. We only bring home an empty cake tray."

A friend made this recipe in a large bundt cake pan-and I would like to try making it in mini-pans.Should I not only reduce baking time,but temperature as well?

This was the chocolate chip pudding cake I was looking for (as Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake). I made the decision to use the Chocolate Glaze and found that I had a number of chocolate chips left over from those I used in the glaze. I used the leftover chips to sprinkle (and press in) around the top of the bundt cake so it looked as though it had a "crown" of chocolate chips. One of the friends who had a piece of this cake just assumed that I had bought it given its appearance.

The day that I made this, my daughter and her BF came in and I thought that we weren't going to have any left. It is simply fantastic. Thanks for the great recipe.

I made this cake 30 years ago when I lived in Maine so the recipe has been around a while. It is a wonderful, moist cake that is also great without the glaze. I used to make it for the 4th of July with homemade ice cream.
