Ingredients
Gingerbread

- 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 cup mini chocolate chips
- Confectioners' sugar (optional)

White Chocolate Drizzle
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 4 teaspoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract
Instructions

Gingerbread
- 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.
- Stir in chocolate chips. Pour into a 10 cup Bundt pan that has been sprayed with nostick baking spray with flour.
- Bake for 50 minutes or until cake pulls away from side of pan and cake springs back when touched lightly.
- Cool in pan for 15 minutes.
- Invert cake onto wire rack. Cool completely.
- If desired, sprinkle cake with confectioners' sugar and serve with whipped cream. Or, spoon White Chocolate Drizzle over cake.
White Chocolate Drizzle
- 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.
- 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* 18.25 ounce boxes of cake mix have been replaced by 16.5 ounce and 15.25 ounce boxes.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.
