Description

A moist chocolate cake infused with rich chocolate pudding, topped with whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup.


Ingredients

Units Scale

 

  • 1 box devil’s food chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients called for on the box)
  • 2 (3.9 oz) boxes instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 4 cups milk
  • 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip), thawed
  • Chocolate syrup, for drizzling

Instructions

  • Bake the Cake:
    • Prepare and bake the chocolate cake in a 9×13-inch pan according to the package instructions.
    • Allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Poke Holes:
    • Using the handle of a wooden spoon or a similar tool, poke holes all over the surface of the cake, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  • Prepare the Pudding:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mixes and milk until smooth and slightly thickened.
  • Pour Pudding Over Cake:
    • Pour the prepared pudding evenly over the cake, ensuring it fills the holes.
    • Gently spread the pudding with a spatula to cover the entire surface.
  • Chill:
    • Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the pudding to set and soak into the cake.
  • Add Whipped Topping:
    • Once chilled, spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the cake.
  • Serve:
    • Drizzle with chocolate syrup before serving.
    • Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage: Cover and refrigerate any leftovers for up to 3 days.
  • Variations: For added texture and flavor, sprinkle mini chocolate chips or crushed chocolate cookies over the whipped topping.
  • Homemade Whipped Cream: If preferred, substitute the whipped topping with homemade whipped cream by beating 1½ cups of cold heavy cream with ¼ cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
