Ingredients

  • 1 box Devil’s Food Cake Mix
  • 1 5.9oz box chocolate pudding
  • 1 Cup sour cream (I use Greek yogurt)
  • 1 Cup oil
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 Cup water
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • Dilettante Chocolate truffles

Instructions

Cake:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine all ingredients with a mixer.
  • This batter will be quite thick-much thicker than typical cake batter.
  • Pour into two 9″ cake pans and bake.
  • Bake for the prescribed amount of time on the box.
  • Once out of the oven, place a Dilettante truffle in the middle.

Frosting

  • Frost with your favorite buttercream recipe.
  • *Optional*: swirl some red food coloring through your buttercream to get the peppermint look.
