Nothing Bundt Cake Recipe and Tutorial

If you've never heard of Nothing Bundt Cakes, they are delicious little bundt cakes that you can buy, for a hefty price!  Awhile back my aunt introduced us to a copycat recipe for the Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cake that she originally found here.

This cake is so fun to make and decorate, especially for a fun party! Below is the yummy recipe, followed by a a tutorial for frosting and decorating the cake!

Prep Time: 10 min. Bake Time: 45 min.
Ingredients:
1 pkg. devils food cake
1 small pkg. instant chocolate pudding
1 c. sour cream
4 eggs
1/2 c. water
1/2 c. oil
1 1/2 c. chocolate chips


Frosting:
1 (8 ounce) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1/4 c. butter, softened
1 1/2-2 c. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract


Directions:
Mix first six ingredients. Add chocolate chips. Pour into a greased bunt cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 min. Let cool in pan for 20 min. 

Frosting:
Cream together the cream cheese and butter. Mix in the vanilla, then gradually stir in the powdered sugar

Frosting the cake:

Spoon frosting into a pastry bag with no tip attached. Starting in the hole of the bundt cake, squeeze and drag frosting up and over, stopping about 3/4th way down the cake. Repeat all around cake.

Tissue paper pom-poms:
Cut 8 peices of regular sized tissue paper in half, long ways.
Stack tissue paper.  Make 1 1/2 inch accordion folds.

Fold a piece of floral wire in half, and slip over center of folded tissue; twist. 

Use scissors to trim ends of tissue into rounded or pointy shapes.

Separate layers, pulling away from center one at a time, until your pom pom ball is formed.

Place ball on top of cake!
