I made this recipe years and years ago, and my family thought it was great, but I had forgotten about it. Last night my husband and I were at a National Day of Prayer dinner, and someone had brought it for the silent auction. It reminded me of how good it is. Here is the recipe, and enjoy!
Cake
1 box chocolate butter cake mix (without pudding)
4 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 small box instant chocolate pudding
8 ounce carton sour cream
6 ounce package chocolate chips
3/4 cup chopped pecans
Coat chocolate chips and pecans in a spoon or so of the dry cake mix.
Mix remaining ingredients together except for chocolate chips and pecans.
Fold in chocolate chips and pecans.
In a greased and floured bundt pan, bake at 350 degrees for about 50 minutes or until done.
Cool before icing with chocolate frosting.
This cake also can be baked in a 9 inch x 13 inch cake pan for 40 minutes.
Chocolate Frosting
1 box powdered sugar
3 squares baking chocolate, melted
3/4 stick soft butter
Milk to moisten
Combine all ingredients, adding enough milk to make this frosting of a spreading consistency. This makes a lot of frosting for a bundt cake.

This old recipe for homemade red cake frosting is from Grandma Marie (born in 1914). She gave me this recipe in 1966, shortly after I married her son. She and her husband made this recipe for years and years before that. This old recipe is probably from the 1940s or earlier.
Cook 1 cup milk and 3 scant tablespoons of flour till thick. Cool to lukewarm.
Beat 3 to 4 minutes: 1 cup sugar, 1 cup Crisco, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and a dash of salt.
Add to flour, and beat till fluffy – 4 minutes.
This is a great frosting for the Red Velvet Cake. It would also be tasty on many cakes.
