Vanilla Rich Chip Cake

 I made this on Christmas day, and it was a huge hit!  I originally bought ice cream to go with it, but this cake is so good by itself, you don't even need ice cream.  I can't wait to make it again!


INGREDIENTS:
* 1 pkg (18.25-oz) yellow cake mix
* 1 pkg (3.5-oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
* 1 cup sour cream
* 1/2 cup water
* 1/2 cup vegetable oil
* 4 eggs
* 1 T pure vanilla extract
* 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Vanilla Butter Glaze:
* 3 T butter, melted
* 2 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
* 3 T water
* 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS:
1.  Beat all ingredients, except chocolate chips, in large bowl with mixer on low just to moisten.  Beat on medium for 2 minutes.
2.  Stir in chips.  Pour into greased and floured 12-cup bundt pan.
3.  Bake in 350 degree preheated oven for 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.  Cool in pan for 10 minutes.  Invert cake onto wire rack.  Cool completely.  Drizzle with Vanilla Butter Glaze or sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if desired.
