Chocolate Candy Cane Cake

1 pkg ~ Chocolate cake mix (2 layer size)

1 pkg ~ Jello-o Chocolate Instant pudding (4 serving size)

4 ~ eggs

1c ~ sour cream

1/2c ~ water

1/2c ~ vegetable oil

4 sq ~ Baker's semi-sweet chocolate, chopped

3c ~ Cool Whip Topping thawed

18 ~ small candy canes coarsely crushed (about 1 cup)


1. Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease 2 - 9in round cake pans

2. Beat cake mix, dry pudding mix, eggs, sour crean, oil and water in a large bowl with an
    electric mixer on low speed just until moistened, scraping sides of the bowl frequently. Beat
    on medium speed 2 mins or until well blended.

3. Stir in chopped chocolate and 2 Tbsp of the crushed candy cane. Spoon batter evenly into
    prepared pans

4. Bake 50 mins to 1 hour or until toothpick inserted near centre comes out clean. Cool in
