Serves 8-12

16 oz. (2 cups) sour cream

4 large eggs

1 small package, 3.9 oz chocolate instant pudding mix

1/2 cup canola oil

1/2 cup water

3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

2. In a large bowl, mix the cake mix, sour cream, eggs, pudding, oil and water all together until well blended. Add the chocolate chips. Do not over mix.
3. Pour into cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with just a hint of moist cake on it. Remove cake immediately and let sit for 10-15 minutes.
4. Turn cake out onto a cake platter very carefully.
5. Frost bottom layer of cake. Place second layer on top of bottom layer and frost.

1/4 teaspoon coarse salt

1 cup butter, room temperature

3. Blend in the milk/cream. Whip on high speed for 2 more minutes. Add more milk if necessary to spread easily.
