house full of kids cake


My mom didn’t bake much. She was a great cook, but not a baker. There are only two things that I remember her baking for us, butterfly cookies and this cake. When I got my first apartment and kitchen, I wrote down the recipe. A few months ago I came across it and it has been in regular rotation ever since. It’s quick, it’s very easy, and the house smells lovely as it bakes.

My house is often full of kids. Mine, yours, friends, the neighbors. I can have this in the oven within five minutes and out, inside the hour. Warm cake for a snack or dessert is nice. It’s not so precious, so I give them free reign. They cut and serve and dole out. It doesn’t last long.


So here it is....

Mom’s Chocolate Chip Cake or The House Full of Kids Cake

mix together in a bowl
1 box yellow cake mix, 1 box vanilla pudding mix, 4 eggs, 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup veg. oil

when mixed
 Add 2 large hand fulls (1-2 cups?) of chocolate chips

Bake in a greased tube pan (bundt would work, too) at 350 for 45 minutes

I told you it was easy!
Enjoy!

  2. Thank you Ivey!!!! I have been craving chocolate chip goodness lately and this will do just perfectly ! Btw, this is very similar to my rum cake, just add rum, no sour cream or chocolate chips. Aw hell, rum and chocolate chips might go together!
