My "back porch" is my kitchen, my favorite room in the house. Come on in, the coffee is fresh, and I just made a pitcher of sweet tea. The cookies will be out in a minute. I have over 40 years of recipes to share with you, along with my opinion on everything. Oh my, you are right, it is cocktail time. What can I get you? Of course I can make you a Mint Julep! Stop by anytime, something is always cooking, and the back door is never locked.

Bon Appetit, Y'all

Chocolate Chip Cake

This cake is so easy one of the kids could make it. You can frost this with your favorite frosting if you like. I really like it simply dusted with powdered sugar and garnished with those big beautiful sweet strawberries that are coming in season now.

Chocolate Chip Cake
12-14 servings
print recipe

1 (18 1/4-ounce) yellow cake mix
1 (3-ounce) package instant chocolate pudding
1 (3-ounce) package instant vanilla pudding
4 eggs
1 1/2 cup water
1/2 cup oil
1 (6-ounce) package chocolate chips
Frosting, powdered sugar or strawberries (optional

Combine the cake mix and puddings in a large bowl; stir until mixed. Add the eggs, water and oil; blend well. Beat for 2 minutes at medium speed. Add the chocolate chips and stir, using a spoon. Pour into a greased and floured bundt pan. Bake at 325 degrees F for 1 hour, or until tested with a toothpick. Cool before removing from pan. Ice or not, your choice, but I would do the strawberries.

  1. Love this recipe! I actually have a variation of it replacing the chocolate pudding with grated German chocolate. My recipe is called "Mystery Cake".
