Ingredients for the Cake
1 box Devil’s Food cake mix
1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
5 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sour cream (or buttermilk for a slightly tangy twist)
3/4 cup brewed coffee (cooled; enhances the chocolate flavor)
2 cups Nestle Toll House semi-sweet chocolate chips
Ingredients for the Ganache Frosting
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) salted butter
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups powdered sugar (sifted to avoid clumps)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons milk (add more for desired consistency)
1/2 cup walnuts (optional, for added crunch)
Instructions to Make Nestles House Toll Death by Chocolate Cake
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a large cake pan or two 9-inch round pans with butter or non-stick spray.
You can also line them with parchment paper for extra ease.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: the Devil’s Food cake mix and instant chocolate pudding mix.
Whisk to combine and remove any lumps.
In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: eggs, vanilla extract, vegetable oil, sour cream (or buttermilk), and the cooled coffee.
The coffee not only enhances the chocolate flavor but also adds moisture to the batter.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until everything is just combined.
Be careful not to overmix; you want a smooth, thick batter.
Fold in the Nestle Toll House chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter for bursts of chocolate in every bite.
