Second off, I'm not making a german chocolate cake....but a chocolate
chip cake from a mix.

A heavily modified version thereof...replacing all mention of milk with
sour cream, instant vanilla pudding with pistachio, and under advisment
replacing the chocolate chips with mini chocolate chips (so they all will
stay suspended). I'm also using extra chocolate chips as I can't find
german chocolate readily. I am going to make a chocolate glaze for this
bundt cake using strong coffee, cocoa and icing sugar, as well (another
thing not mentioned in the cookbook). Maybe I should use chocolate
pudding and cut back on the choco chips....no mustn't modify
modifications. I'll get too confused that way. Stick with the plan.
That's the ticket! Anyways since I gotta make my own birthday cake I'll
make any damn one I want.

The unadulterated recipe can be found on page 42 of the cookbook Cake
Doctor (also I posted it). I don't have the book in front of me, as I was
looking at it when the daughter came over...so she has of course,
borrowed it. So I can't tell you whom the author is. I had to get by from
a quick scan of page 42 & 43. Aren't puters a handy thing when you have
kids. This cookbook has many ways to modify (improve) boxed cake
mixes...so I figured I too can mess with the recipe.
