This cake is not only the easiest double chocolate pecan cake ever, but it's also the most delicious! A white cake mix is easily transformed into an irresistible confection.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, add cake mix, instant pudding, eggs, milk, applesauce and vanilla. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds and then on high speed for 2 minutes.
Pour cake batter into baking pan and sprinkle top with chocolate chips and pecans.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center removes cleanly.
Notes
I love the Chocolate Fudge flavored pudding in this recipe for more intense flavor. I also often use dark chocolate chips as a contrast to the sweeter cake – the perfect combination!
