Triple Chocolate Gingerbread recipe

Prep: 10 min | Bake: 50 min | Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

Gingerbread

  • 1 (18.25 ounce) box chocolate cake mix*
  • 1 (4 serving size) box chocolate instant pudding mix
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon McCormick® Ground Ginger
  • 1 teaspoon McCormick® Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Ground Allspice
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup molasses
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips
  • Confectioners' sugar (optional)
  • Whipped cream (optional)

White Chocolate Drizzle

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 4 teaspoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Gingerbread

  1. Beat all ingredients except chocolate chips in large bowl with electric mixer on low speed just until moistened, scraping side of bowl frequently. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes or until well blended.
  2. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour into a 10 cup Bundt pan that has been sprayed with nostick baking spray with flour.
  3. Bake for 50 minutes or until cake pulls away from side of pan and cake springs back when touched lightly.
  4. Cool in pan for 15 minutes.
  5. Invert cake onto wire rack. Cool completely.
  6. If desired, sprinkle cake with confectioners' sugar and serve with whipped cream. Or, spoon White Chocolate Drizzle over cake.

White Chocolate Drizzle

  1. Microwave white chocolate chips and milk in small microwavable bowl on MEDIUM HIGH (70% power) 1 minute. Stir until chips are melted and mixture is smooth. If needed, microwave 10 to 30 seconds longer, stirring every 10 seconds.
  2. Stir in McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract. Immediately spoon over cake as drizzle tends to thicken as it sits in the bowl.

Notes

* 18.25 ounce boxes of cake mix have been replaced by 16.5 ounce and 15.25 ounce boxes. To compensate for the volume loss in a 16 ounce box, whisk 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour into the dry cake mix before proceeding with the recipe. To compensate for the volume loss in a 15.25 ounce box, add 1/2 cup + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder.
