🍫 Nestlé Toll House Death by Chocolate Cake

Introduction

Few desserts can capture the heart of a true chocolate lover like the Death by Chocolate Cake. Originating from the iconic Nestlé Toll House brand, which first introduced America to the classic chocolate chip cookie in the 1930s, this cake is a celebration of pure indulgence. Rich, fudgy, moist, and loaded with layers of chocolate flavor, it’s the kind of dessert that’s perfect for birthdays, holidays, or just any day you want to spoil yourself.

Served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, this dessert becomes a true masterpiece — balancing the deep richness of chocolate with the cool creaminess of ice cream.

Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1 box Devil’s Food cake mix (15.25 oz)
  • 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup warm water
  • 2 cups Nestlé Toll House semi-sweet chocolate chips

For Garnish & Serving:

  • Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
  • Extra chocolate chips or shavings
  • Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream

Instructions & Methods

  1. Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan generously.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the cake mix and pudding mix.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in sour cream, oil, eggs, and water until smooth and thick.
  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the Toll House chocolate chips into the batter.
  5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean (a little gooey is perfect for fudginess).
  6. Cool Slightly: Allow the cake to rest in the pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully invert onto a serving plate.
  7. Serve: Dust with powdered sugar, top with extra chocolate shavings, and serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

History

The Toll House legacy began in the 1930s when Ruth Wakefield invented the original chocolate chip cookie at her Massachusetts inn. Nestlé acquired the rights to her recipe, forever linking the brand with chocolate indulgence. The Death by Chocolate Cake is a modern twist, born from America’s love of rich desserts, combining cake, pudding, and chocolate chips for the ultimate sweet creation.

Benefits

  • Mood Booster: Chocolate releases serotonin, making this cake a natural pick-me-up.
  • Energy Source: With sugar, eggs, and chocolate, it provides a quick energy boost.
  • Celebration Dessert: Perfect centerpiece for gatherings and special occasions.

Formation

The beauty of this recipe lies in its layered chocolate effect:

  • The cake mix creates a fluffy base.
  • The pudding mix adds moisture and fudginess.
  • The chocolate chips melt into gooey pockets throughout.
    Together, they form a decadent, melt-in-your-mouth masterpiece.
