Ingredients

  • 1 chocolate devils food cake mix about 15.25 oz
  • 1 3.4 oz package instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1/4 cup oil canola, vegetable, or avocado oil I use avocado oil
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 2 large eggs
  • 6 oz mini chocolate chips
  • frosting options listed in the post: be sure to print the frosting recipe as well.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°
  • Prepare a 13x9 pan for the cake to remove easily after baking.
  • Pour the cake mix, oil, eggs, water, and dry pudding mix into a bowl and mix with a fork or whisk, until silky smooth and well blended.
  • Add the chocolate chips and stir, you can sprinkle some on top of a 13x9 so you can see them after it bakes.
  • Bake the cake in a well-heated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes then turn it out on a cooling rack, or allow it to completely cool in the pan if desired.
  • Chill the cake if desired, cold cake frosts more easily and allows the cake to hold moisture, which I also prefer.
  • Spread 1-2 cups of frosting over the cake until smooth.
  • Add about 10 sliced strawberries piling them into a half-circle shape, then add blueberries to look like starburst, fireworks. If you decorate the cake ahead of time and think the fruit might dry out melt a little strawberry jam and brush on sliced strawberries to keep them shiny/moist.
