We updated this Easy Chocolate Chip Cookie Bundt Cake Recipe since we first published in 2019.

There is nothing better than a mid-day pick up of a slice of yummy cake and a good cup of coffee.  This week I  wanted to bake something and having only a yellow cake mix and a limited amount of time, we decided to upgrade a box cake mix.

If you love a good chocolate chip cookie then you might drool over this Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake. No, it is not a cookie baked in a pizza pan, this is truly a cake.

I had all the ingredients, including the vanilla pudding which is a great addition to any box cake mix. 

Since I was using my traditional bundt pan for monkey bread , I used a fun “fancy flower” bundt pan to make this Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake.

WHY DO I ADD PUDDING TO A BOXED CAKE MIX?

1. Moisture: Pudding mix contains ingredients like starch and sugars that can help retain moisture in the cake. This added moisture can prevent the cake from drying out, resulting in a softer and more tender texture.
2. Flavor: Pudding mix comes in various flavors, such as vanilla, chocolate, butterscotch, and more. Adding a complementary pudding flavor to the cake mix can intensify and enhance the overall taste of the cake. It provides an extra layer of flavor that may not be present in the original cake mix.
3. Texture: Pudding mix can contribute to a denser and richer texture in the cake. The starches in the pudding can modify the structure of the cake, making it more velvety and smooth. This alteration in texture can create a more indulgent and satisfying eating experience.

The batter is pretty thick with the extra eggs and pudding addition so don’t get worried about that. 

WHAT TYPE OF GLAZE IS GOOD FOR A BUNDT CAKE RECIPE?

While I would only make the vanilla or chocolate glaze but here are some simple ideas to enhance your bundt cake and to make it look extra special: 

1. Classic Vanilla Glaze:
   • Ingredients:
     • 1 cup powdered sugar
     • 2 tablespoons milk
     • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2. Chocolate Ganache Glaze:
   • Ingredients:
     • 1/2 cup heavy cream
     • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
     1.  
3. Lemon Glaze:
   • Ingredients:
     • 1 cup powdered sugar
     • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
     • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
4. Coffee-Chocolate Glaze:
   • Ingredients:
     • 1 cup powdered sugar
     • 2 tablespoons brewed coffee, cooled
     • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder

SHOULD I GLAZE MY BUNDT CAKE WHILE IT IS WARM?

Allow the cake to cool completely then you can make a simple glaze using a creamer instead of milk.  Using a vanilla creamer made a flavorful yet simple glaze in minutes.

This cake mix cake redo really does taste like a chocolate chip cookie in a cake. What else can you ask for in a dessert?  This cake comes together so quickly and definitely is complemented by a cup of coffee flavored with Left Field Farms Creamer.   

Yes, I am a creamer girl, and love a flavored creamer

Enjoying a slice of this cake with a warm cup of coffee or even iced coffee flavored is a great snack or dessert.
