Betty's Best Ever Chocolate Crumb Cake

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a Chocolate Crumb Cake. This cake is made with a mix, and then covered with crunchy chocolate crumbs, confectioner's sugar, and chocolate chips.

Ingredients

18.25-oz. box chocolate cake (I used butter chocolate flavor.)
ingredients as listed on cake mix directions (My cake mix required 1 1/3 cups water, 1 stick butter, and 3 eggs.)
cooking oil spray
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ¼ cup sugar
2 sticks butter, melted
3/8 cup cocoa powder
¼ cup confectioner's sugar (powdered sugar or icing sugar)
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips (You may use a small amount of cocoa powder or chocolate shavings instead.)

In a large mixing bowl, mix chocolate cake batter, according to package instructions, adding any ingredients listed on the package. Pour batter into a 15-inch by 10-inch by 2-inch baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking oil spray. Bake at 350 degrees (F) for 15 minutes. While cake is baking, make chocolate crumb topping as follows: In a large mixing bowl, stir together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ¼ cups sugar, and 3/8 cup cocoa powder. Add 2 sticks melted butter and stir until mixture is thick and workable. With your hands, pinch off chunks of the chocolate mixture and place them on top of the partially-baked chocolate cake. Continue until all of the chocolate mixture is used and the cake is evenly covered. Return the cake to a 350 degree (F) oven, and bake an additional 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove cake from oven. Immediately sprinkle top of cake with ¼ cup confectioner's sugar, and then with ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips. Let cool for at least ½ hour before cutting cake into squares. This cake is delicious served warm, but it is equally good at room temperature or chilled. Enjoy! Love, Betty ♥♥♥♥♥

Wow. I can't see why some people get this angry over cake mix. With all that's going on on our world, your priority is avoiding cake mix, then.. I don't know Haha.
