Description

This Chocolate Pudding Cake is a delicious dessert that combines rich chocolate cake with a creamy pudding topping, making it an irresistible treat for chocolate lovers.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup milk (for cake)
  • 4 packets hot cocoa mix
  • 2 boxes instant chocolate pudding mix (3 oz each)
  • 3 cups cold milk (for pudding)
  • 1 tub whipped topping (8 oz)
  • 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and prepare the chocolate cake mix as directed on the box, using 1 cup of milk, 3 eggs, and 1/2 cup vegetable oil. Bake in a 9×13-inch pan.
  2. Once baked, let the cake cool for about 10 minutes. Use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the surface.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 cups cold milk, 4 packets hot cocoa mix, and 2 boxes of instant chocolate pudding until smooth.
  4. Immediately pour the pudding mixture evenly over the warm cake, letting it seep into the holes.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until pudding is fully set.
  6. Spread the whipped topping evenly over the chilled cake.
  7. Sprinkle mini marshmallows on top and drizzle with chocolate syrup if desired.
  8. Slice and serve chilled or slightly softened at room temperature.

Notes

  • Make sure to let the cake cool completely before adding the pudding to prevent it from melting.
