Also, the chocolate chips sink into the batter and melt a bit so that helps as well. I also think double-checking the temp on the oven and not over-cooking are two other things can prevent the cake from drying out. I'll see if I have pictures--I might!Sharon Wrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00406629926094415969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1051385057388379982.post-5034385208604565132012-11-14T10:20:37.178-05:002012-11-14T10:20:37.178-05:00Did you ever get a picture?

I've heard adding a box of pudding helps, but I've never tried it. I also hear that overbaking is a big culprit, too, if a cake is too dry. Do you have good luck with this cake? Is it nice and moist? I have a homemade Red Velvet that stays moist, and I wonder if it's because there's buttermilk in it. :>)Kieranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10361296468164017351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1051385057388379982.post-5024670535289829752012-09-06T11:12:17.737-04:002012-09-06T11:12:17.737-04:00Thank you, Gayle.
