Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 40 mins
Total Time: 55 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 box chocolate cake mix
  2. 1 box instant chocolate pudding mix
  3. 4 cups milk
  4. 1 cup chocolate chips
  5. 1/2 cup butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk until smooth and well combined. Continue whisking for 2-3 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken slightly.
  3. Pour the dry chocolate cake mix directly over the pudding mixture without stirring. Use a spatula to spread the dry cake mix evenly across the surface of the pudding.
  4. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the dry cake mix, ensuring complete coverage.
  5. Sprinkle the chocolate chips uniformly across the entire surface of the cake, distributing them as evenly as possible.
  6. Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. The cake is done when the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes. This allows the pudding to set and makes serving easier.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature. Optional: Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
  9. Store any leftover cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave for 15-20 seconds before serving.

Tips

  1. Make sure to whisk the pudding mix and milk thoroughly to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth base.
  2. Don't stir the ingredients after layering - the magic happens during baking!
  3. Use high-quality chocolate chips for an extra luxurious flavor.
  4. Check the cake around the 35-minute mark to prevent over-baking.
  5. For an extra indulgent touch, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
  6. Let the cake cool slightly before serving to allow the pudding to set properly.
  7. If you want a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate.
  8. Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain moisture and freshness.
