Notes: | * I have used both Pillsbury and Betty Crocker cake mixes; cannot tell a difference
* Be sure instant pudding is not sugar-free * Be sure cake is completely cool before covering, especially if you've dusted with powdered sugar * May substitute vegetable oil for melted butter * If you reserve more than 1/4 c chips for bottom of cake, be warned that the finished product may not retain integrity when you remove it from the Bundt cake pan! |
