This past weekend we hosted the first Build Your Blog Conference here in Utah and it was a smashing success!!
We had 300 bloggers and businesses in attendance and the whole day focused on starting, growing, and monetizing a blog. We have felt so blessed since starting this blog because not only does it provide income for all the sisters, but also our parents (did you know that our parents work full time for US?! Ha ha! Awesome!) and about 21 other people.
The power and future of blogging is incredible!
Be sure to join us next year- sign-ups have already begun!
For now, my sisters and I will be taking a much-needed nap . . . and stuffing our faces with this AMAZING chocolate cake. It’s out-of-this-world good!
Triple Chocolate Bundt Cake Ingredients:
1 (18.25 oz) package Devil’s Food chocolate cake mix
1 (3.9 oz) box instant chocolate pudding mix
1 cup sour cream
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1/2 cup warm water
1 cup milk chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F .
In a large bowl, mix together the cake and pudding mixes, sour cream, oil, beaten eggs and water. Stir in the chocolate chips and pour batter into a bundt pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray (my favorite is Baker’s Joy for this recipe- I wasn’t paid to say that- it’s my honest opinion!).
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until top is springy to the touch and a wooden toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool cake thoroughly in pan for about 90 minutes before inverting onto a plate. If desired, dust the cake with powdered sugar or top with my favorite chocolate frosting.
Our Favorite Chocolate Frosting
1/2 cup butter OR margarine, softened
1/4 cup milk
1-2 teaspoons vanilla (depending on your taste)
3 Tablespoons cocoa
2-3 cups of powdered sugar
Mix all ingredients together and either spread or pipe on top of cooled cake.
The conference was amazing!!! I had so much fun mingling and I learned SO much! IT was great to see you guys can’t wait til next year! – and this cake looks FABULOUS! I love chocolate! Cassity
Congrats on a successful conference! Working for NMX, I know just how hard they can be to pull together. But I also know the work doesn’t seem that bad when you’re working with sisters! (At least it doesn’t to me!)
Would these make good cupcakes? I don’t like it when cupcakes are light and airy – I would like to make dense ones that stand up to the frosting. Would this recipe work for that?
We have only tried making this in a bundt pan. It would totally change the baking time and I am not sure how many cupcakes it would make or how much to put in each cupcake tin. Sorry we’re not much help with your question. Let us know how it works out if you give it a try! -The Six Sisters
I am really hoping that I am able to come to your conference next year! I have been following all the attendee’s and it looks like you all did a wonderful job! This cake also wonderful!! Thanks for linking up at Show Me Your Plaid Monday’s!
I’m a sucker for dessert and this one is making me drool all over my keyboard! Thanks for linking to Simple Supper Tuesday and hope to see you again next week )
I made this for my husbands birthday and it was fabulous!!!! My family loved it!!! I will definitely be baking it again. Thanks for sharing all of your wonderful recipes! I absolutely love your blog. I just got my cookbook in the mail, can’t wait to try new things from there!

In our house we call this Cavity-maker Cake!! Yum!
18.25 ounce cake mixes are hard to find,,,what brand do you use that still comes in that size?
Thanks
Diane
I have made this with an old Duncan Hines (18.25 oz) and a Betty Crocker (15.25 oz). Both have worked great! -The Six Sisters
Camille, this is amazing. And I’m so happy for your success at BYB!!!! I hope I can come next year.
