Ingredients & Variations
CAKE BATTER: A white cake batter mix showcases the baked-in chocolate chips. Try a yellow cake mix, chocolate, or mix up the flavors and try an apple spice cake mix or a red velvet one for a new dessert every time! No sour cream? Use plain Greek yogurt!
TOPPINGS: So many ideas! Keep it simple and sprinkle powdered sugar through a sieve on top of the cake or use this simple apple fritter glaze. Looking for a fancier topping besides a store-bought frosting? Try the easy chocolate glaze found in this Chocolate Dipped Air Fryer Donut Recipe! Sprinkle on colorful jimmies for a birthday Bundt cake or top with fresh blueberries and sliced strawberries.
MIX-INS: Aside from the chocolate chips, a Bundt cake has the texture and height for a variety of baked-in surprises! Mini butterscotch chips, chopped nuts, toasted coconut, even red and green dried cherries for a holiday presentation!
How to Make a Bundt Cake with Chocolate Chips
This simple bundt cake is quick and easy to prepare with just 3 steps!
- Mix all ingredients (except chocolate chips) in a bowl.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Bake, cool completely before turning upside down.
Recipe Tips
- Once cool enough to handle, place a rack on top of the Bundt cake and flip it over. It is very important to allow the cake to cool completely before removing it from the pan.
- For best results, liberally grease the Bundt cake pan and then lightly flour the inside to make sure the cake releases from the mold.
- Freeze a whole Bundt cake after it’s been cooled by wrapping it in plastic wrap, followed with a foil wrap, for up to 3 months. Or freeze individual wedges in plastic wrap and place them in zippered bags for quick grab and go treats. Allow to thaw at room temperature overnight before serving.
Time Saving Tips
Get bakery-quality results using a boxed mix and save time with a can or two of pre-made frosting – the possibilities are endless!
To easily coat a Bundt cake with store-bought frosting, peel off the foil covering and heat the frosting in the microwave for 30 seconds to make it easier to spread.

I only have three eggs. Will it be okay with just three eggs?
I haven’t tried it so I can’t say for sure Sherry. It may be more dense or not rise as well. If you try it I would love to hear how it turns out!
I needed to make a desert for a company party but the roads were icy and I couldn’t go to the store. I had a cake mix, sour cream and chocolate chips on hand, so this recipe was a great solution!! I had to sample it (of course) before giving it to others, it turned out so moist and delicious my husband asked if I would make another! This is a definite KEEPER❤️
