Calling all chocolate lovers! If you grew up loving the movie Matilda and fantasized about that chocolate cake scene more time’s than not, then this cake recipe is going to blow your mind.

This double chocolate cake is “the” cake in our family. It’s made an appearance at every holiday, every family gathering and every potluck I can ever remember. Not only is it sinfully good and extra chocolatey like the name implies, but it’s one of the easiest cakes you will ever bake! And this is coming from a self-proclaimed “bad baker”, so you know it’s a good one.

First of all, I love a Bundt cake recipe because it involves whipping up a batter, baking it and pretty much enjoying it from there. No adding layers, no frostings or glazes. Just enjoying a good cake in a cute Bundt cake form!

Secondly, this recipe features less than 10 ingredients that are practically pantry/fridge staples but also flavor boosters which are the key to this chocolatey yet complex cake. It starts with a box of Devil’s food cake mix, just to make things easy. Then it’s all about doctoring up with a package of chocolate pudding mix, sour cream, eggs, brewed espresso, coconut oil and, of course, semi-sweet chocolate chips.

The result is the richest, moistest, most flavorful chocolate cake you’ll ever try (promise). Hints of coconut, the boost of espresso to amplify the chocolate flavor and morsels of semi sweet chocolate in every bite, it’s the ultimate, easy chocolate cake recipe you’re sure to start adding to lineup.
