Nestles House Toll Death by Chocolate Cake

Here’s a recipe for Nestlé’s Toll House “Death by Chocolate” Cake (a very rich, indulgent chocolate bundt‑style cake with chocolate chips and a ganache glaze) — adapted from several sources.

Ingredients

For the Cake

  • 1 box Devil’s Food cake mix
  • 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup sour cream (or buttermilk)
  • ¾ cup brewed coffee (cooled)
  • 2 cups Nestlé Toll House chocolate chips

For the Ganache Icing / Glaze

  • 1 stick (½ cup) salted butter
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • ½ box (or appropriate amount) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • ½ cup pecan pieces (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prepare Pan
    Preheat oven to 350 °F (≈175 °C). Grease a bundt cake pan well.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients
    In a large bowl, combine the cake mix and instant chocolate pudding mix.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients
    In another bowl, whisk the eggs, vanilla, oil, sour cream (or buttermilk), and brewed coffee until smooth.
  4. Combine & Fold
    Add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Bake
    Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake for ~45 minutes (or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean).
    Let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting onto a cake plate or platter.
  6. Make Ganache Icing
    Over low heat, melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk, mixing until smooth. If using, fold in pecan pieces.
  7. Finish & Serve
    Pour the warm ganache over the cooled cake, letting it drip over the sides. Serve warm if possible (some suggest reheating slices slightly before serving).

If you like, I can convert this recipe into metric units (grams, milliliters) or adapt it for the ingredients you have. Do you want me to do that for you?
