Ultimate Chocolate Cake from a Cake Mix

Step 1

Using your KitchenAid Mixer or traditional stand mixer, combine all the ingredients together, except the chocolate chips. Then add the chocolate chips.

Step 2

Allow the batter to mix for a few more minutes. The batter will be thick.

Step 3

Pour the batter into the cake pan of your choice that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 4

Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.

Step 5

Let the cake cool in the pan for a few minutes and then remove and place on a wire rack to cool completely while you prepare the chocolate glaze.

Step 6

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the powdered sugar and cocoa powder.

Step 7

Add the remaining ingredients and mix until smooth.

Step 8

Depending on the consistency of icing you desire, you may need to add more milk.

Step 9

Drizzle the icing over the cake.
