Triple Chocolate Pudding Ring Cake

Okay…my local grocery store has just got to stop having these great sales on cake mixes. This past week they had another “buy 2 get 3 free” sale. I mean, who can pass up a deal like that? I know I sure couldn’t, even though I still have several boxes of cake mix left over from their last “buy 2 get 3 free” sale. 🙂

Usually I try to bake my cakes from scratch, but since I have all these boxes of cake mix that I need to use up, I decided to make today’s cake with one of my sale items.

This cake is really moist, rich, and I don’t think I need to mention it – but I will… Delicious!! The “triple chocolate” comes from the chocolate cake mix, chocolate pudding mix, and of course, the chocolate chips.

~Enjoy~
