Triple Chocolate Bliss Cake

1 package Devil's Food Cake Mix
1 cup sour cream
1 4 ounce package instant chocolate pudding mix
4 large eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup water
Chocolate Topping:
3 cups thawed cool whip
1 package Baker's Semi-Sweet chocolate -- 8 squares

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 12-cup fluted or tube pan. Beat all ingredients for cake together with electric mixer at low speed until just moistened. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Mixture will be thick. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes and then turn out onto cooling rack to cool completely. Place on serving plate.

For frosting, heat cool whip and chocolate in microwave on high 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until chocolate is melted. Stir until mixture is well blended and then drizzle over cake.


Notes: I spray the pan with PAM and it doesn't stick. I also didn't have semi-sweet chocolate, but did have german chocolate, so I used that. The chocolate is really thick, so you might want to add a little milk if it's not the consistency you want.
