A quick and easy one-bowl chocolate cake mix recipe enhanced with sour cream, chocolate chips, and a hint of cinnamon for a moist, rich, and indulgent homemade dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (preferably Duncan Hines)
  • 1 cup sour cream (full-fat recommended)
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (e.g., Ghirardelli)
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, sour cream, eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Whisk or use a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Fold in the chocolate chips and nuts gently with a rubber spatula to distribute evenly.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with the spatula.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Start checking around 33 minutes.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and sour cream for smooth batter. Do not overmix to avoid a dense cake. Tent the pan with foil halfway through baking if edges brown too quickly. For dairy-free, substitute sour cream with coconut yogurt or vegan sour cream. For nut allergies, omit nuts or replace with sunflower seeds.
