Cheesy Chicken Broccoli Bake

This cheesy chicken broccoli bake is the perfect one pan meal! It’s an ideal weeknight dinner thats super easy to make and ultra comforting. The secret ingredient in this dish is mayo! I use the mayo to keep the chicken extra tender and it tastes so good when the cheese melts right over the top. Plus we can’t forget our veggie, broccoli!

I like to place the pan right on the table (over an oven mitt, of course) at dinner time and serve with a side of rice! It makes for an easy clean up and a true family style meal.

Copycat Nothing Bundt Cake Chocolate Chocolate Chi Copycat Nothing Bundt Cake Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cake 🎂🍫 

I love making classic copycat cake recipes for my birthday, and this one did not disappoint. It tastes just like the real deal, is super easy to make, and costs a fraction of the price.

Watch to the end for the secret trick that keeps this cake insanely moist, just like Nothing Bundt Cakes.

INGREDIENTS 
1 box devil’s food cake mix
1 (3.9 oz) box instant chocolate fudge pudding
1 cup sour cream, room temperature
4 eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup avocado oil or vegetable oil
1 tsp espresso powder
1 1/4 cups chocolate chips

Frosting
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups powdered sugar

For the Bundt Pan
Butter
Cocoa powder

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a large mixing bowl, add cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, eggs, milk, oil, and espresso powder. Mix until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.

Butter a bundt pan well, then add about 1 tablespoon cocoa powder and rotate the pan to coat all the grooves.

Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 35–40 minutes, beginning to check around 35 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. You may hit a chocolate chip, so test a couple spots.

Remove from oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

Turn cake out onto plastic wrap, wrap tightly while still warm, and place in the freezer for at least 24 hours.

To make frosting, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add vanilla and powdered sugar and whip until creamy.

Once the cake is thawed, pipe frosting starting from the outer edge of the cake and work inward toward the center to create the classic Nothing Bundt Cake style stripes.
