Ingredients

Servings 12

1 (18.25 ounce) package natural chocolate cake mix
1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
1 cup low-fat sour cream
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup warm water
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons confectioner's sugar for dusting on top of cooled cake (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup tube pan.
Mix cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, oil, beaten eggs, and water in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake in preheated oven until top is springy to the touch and a wooden toothpick inserted comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Cool cake thoroughly in pan at least 1 1/2 hours before inverting onto plate. Dust with confectioner's sugar before serving.

Why this Healthier Too Much Chocolate Cake works for PCOS

Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Healthier Too Much Chocolate Cake works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
