1-Step 1: Prep the Pan and Oven Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a 10- or 12-cup bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray. A 12-cup pan is preferred it gives the batter room to rise without overflowing. If you only have a 10-cup pan, fill it carefully, as the batter will come very close to the top.

2-Step 2: Mix the Batter In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, instant vanilla pudding mix, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and warm water. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

3-Step 3: Fold in Chocolate Chips Using a spatula, gently fold in the 2 cups of mini chocolate chips. Be careful not to overmix this keeps the chips from sinking and ensures even distribution.

4-Step 4: Bake Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the top springs back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

5-Step 5: Cool and Release Let the cake cool in the pan for 20 to 30 minutes. Then, carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
