The Nestle Toll House Death by Chocolate Cake is the epitome of chocolate indulgence. With layers of rich devil’s food cake infused with chocolate chips and topped with a decadent ganache frosting, this cake is sure to satisfy even the most intense chocolate cravings. Despite its impressive appearance, this cake is surprisingly simple to make, making it the perfect centerpiece for any occasion.
Ingredients:
- 1 box devil’s food cake mix
- 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 5 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup sour cream or buttermilk
- 3/4 cup brewed coffee
- 2 cups Nestle Toll House chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients (devil’s food cake mix and instant chocolate pudding mix). In another bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients (eggs, vanilla extract, vegetable oil, sour cream or buttermilk, and brewed coffee). Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until well combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into greased cake pans and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a cake plate or serving platter.
- Prepare the Ganache Frosting: In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add cocoa powder, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, milk, and walnuts, stirring until smooth and well combined. Pour the warm ganache over the cooled cake layers, allowing it to cascade down the sides.
- Serve: Serve the Nestle Toll House Death by Chocolate Cake warm, allowing the ganache to slightly melt and enhance the chocolatey goodness. Alternatively, you can reheat the ganache in the microwave before serving for a warm and gooey topping.
Tips:
- For an extra indulgent touch, consider adding a layer of chocolate ganache between the cake layers for added richness.
- Experiment with different types of chocolate chips or add-ins, such as white chocolate chips or chopped nuts, to customize the flavor of the cake.
- Ensure the cake layers are completely cooled before adding the ganache frosting to prevent it from melting too quickly.
- Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to several days.
