Ingredients

CAKE

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup walnuts
  • 1 devil’s food cake mix
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 oz instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt full fat recommended
  • 1 12-oz bag frozen raspberries thawed

GLAZE

  • 2 oz unsalted butter
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 8 oz powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

for the Cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Coat nuts and chips with 1 tbsp cake mix and set aside. (This will help keep them from sinking to the bottom of the batter.)
  • Beat the eggs using an electric mixer for one minute.
  • Add the cake mix, oil, water, vanilla, pudding mix and Greek yogurt. Blend for three minutes on medium speed, making sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • Fold in coated chips and nuts and the raspberries.
  • Pour into a bundt cake pan that has been greased and coated with a fine layer of cocoa powder.
  • Bake for 50-55 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick. (Note that you have to check carefully. If the toothpick comes out wet, make sure that moisture is from cake batter, not a chocolate chip.)
  • Cool for 5 minutes before turning out of bundt pan. Let cake cool for 1 hour before topping with the glaze.

for the Glaze:

  • Simmer butter, milk, cocoa for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Reduce heat to low and add vanilla.
  • Slowly stir in confectioner’s sugar, a little at a time.
  • If mixture becomes too thick increase heat.
  • Make sure glaze is warm enough so it drizzles over top and sides of cake.
