Chocolate Pound Cake

I wanted to make a birthday cake for my friend, and she so generously shared her favorite cake recipe with me to make for the occasion! This is DELICIOUS!!

Cake

• 1 package Devil's Food cake mix
• 1 package small (3.9 oz) chocolate pudding
  
• 4 eggs
• 1 c. sour cream
• 1/2 c. water
• 1/2 c. (one cube) butter, softened

Combine all ingredients and beat at medium speed for 5 minutes. Pour into greased bundt pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. (I feel confident that you could make this in another cake pan, not just a bundt pan - but it looks so pretty as a bundt cake if you do have a bundt pan.)

Fudge Frosting

• 4 3/4 c. sifted powdered sugar
• 1/2 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 c. butter, softened
• 1/2 c. boiling water
• 1 tsp. vanilla
  

Combine sugar and cocoa. Add butter, boiling water and vanilla. Beat on low speed until combined. Beat 1 minute on medium speed. Cool 20 minutes (approximately) until mixture reaches spreading consistency.
