½ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup warm water

Combine cake mix, pudding and salt in an electric mixer and stir on low to combine. Slowly stir in water, whiskey, eggs, sour cream and oil. Beat together on medium until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Remove bowl from mixer and stir in chocolate chips.
Pour batter into pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean (you may have some chocolate on toothpick from chips). Remove from oven and let cake cool.
