This is one of my favorite cake recipes. It’s so easy, and always turns out well. I really don’t usually make this many cakes around our house, but the deals are just too good to pass up!
Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cake

- 1 18.5 Devils Food Cake Mix Betty Crocker BOGO $1.83
- 1 small instant chocolate pudding mix Large package Advantage Buy $.99, or the small package is $1.09, $.55/2 Jello Pudding mixes HERE (I might buy the large one and then mix up two cups of pudding for my kids afternoon snack)

Frosting
I will probably warm up 3/4 cup of my free frosting from this week’s sales, then drizzle it over the cake and sprinkle with powdered sugar (Betty Crocker Frosting BOGO $1.89, use coupons -$.50/1 Frosting PRINT or PRINT HERE, or $.50 from 11/15 GM) But if you want to make the real thing, follow the directions below!

Update to post – I was thinking this was a little pricy for just a cake, until I went by Publix today and saw the prices on their cakes. While their cakes are BEAUTIFUL, a pretty round cake from them will run you about $21.99. All I bought for the cake (I had the basic staples on hand), was the cake mix ($.95), the sour cream (I used half, so $.50), the chocolate chips ($.24 with coupon last week), the frosting (FREE!), and the pudding ($.99). My total for those was $2.68, a MUCH better deal than the pretty Publix cake – and my house smells like chocolate! What more could I ask for?
