This is my all time favorite cake to have for my birthday!\u00a0 I think my mom has made it for the past 28 years for me.\u00a0 It is so moist and good and I just can’t get enough.\u00a0 I decided to make some cupcakes over Easter weekend and they were so good!\u00a0 I haven’t had this cake since my birthday last year.\u00a0 Usually I make it in a bundt pan but cupcakes are great for sharing with our neighbors.\u00a0 Also I went to the store and got all the ingredients and forgot cupcake papers!\u00a0 Sooooo I had these mini cupcake papers and just made those instead which worked out great because we had even more to share:)<\/p>\n

The Recipe:<\/em><\/p>\n

1 package yellow cake mix with pudding in the mix(it says on the box “pudding in the mix”)<\/p>\n

4 eggs<\/p>\n

1 cup club soda<\/p>\n

1\/2 cup oil<\/p>\n

1 package instant pistachio pudding<\/p>\n

4 oz. Creme de Menthe<\/p>\n

3\/4 cup chocolate chips<\/p>\n

Icing:<\/em><\/p>\n

4-1\/2 oz. cool whip<\/p>\n

1 cup milk<\/p>\n

1 package instant pistachio pudding<\/p>\n

Mix together cake mix, eggs, club soda, oil, pudding and creme de menthe.\u00a0 Blend well with mixer.\u00a0 Pour batter into bundt pan that has been thoroughly sprayed with pam- make sure it’s really sprayed in the crevices of the pan or it won’t come out of the pan!\u00a0 Sprinkle 3\/4 cups(I may or<\/em> may not put more in!) chocolate chips over batter.\u00a0 Stir by hand to blend.\u00a0 Bake in 350 oven for 45-50 minutes until done.\u00a0\u00a0 Let cake cool completely before removing from pan.\u00a0 Mix together icing ingredients and frost sides and top of cake.\u00a0 Top with additional chocolate chips.<\/p>\n

For cupcakes I fill each cup 3\/4 with batter and sprinkle a few chocolate chips into each cup, then bake.\u00a0 They will take less time- see cake box for times.\u00a0 These below were mini cupcakes which took even less time than the box said.<\/p>\n

This recipe is so so easy and much better than just straight from the box cake.\u00a0 Yum!<\/p>\n

I also LOVE my turquoise vintage Pyrex bowls and containers.\u00a0 I’m sad that my polka dot one broke recently- Chris dropped it:(\u00a0 He was afraid to tell me, but what was I going to do? \u00a0 I will find another one, maybe on ebay.<\/p>\n

Enjoy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
