This tasty holiday cake is stolen from Nothing Bundt Cakes. Chocolate cake mix is combined with chocolate pudding mix, sour cream, eggs, water, vegetable oil and peppermint extract. Mini chocolate chips are folded into the batter before pouring the batter into a bundt pan. After baking and cooling a cream cheese frosting is piped onto the cake and crushed candy canes are sprinkled on top.
