Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
  • 1 (3 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 1/2 cups milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350º F (175º C) and prepare a 13×9 inch baking dish by spraying it with non-stick spray or greasing it lightly.
  2. Layer Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the chocolate cake mix over the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create the base layer.
  3. Layer Pudding Mix: Sprinkle the instant chocolate pudding mix evenly over the top of the cake mix layer.
  4. Prepare Liquid Mixture: In a separate container, combine the cooled melted butter with the milk and stir well.
  5. Pour Liquid: Pour this butter and milk mixture evenly over the layers of cake and pudding mix in the baking dish. Use a spatula to gently press and mix just enough so the liquid reaches the bottom and saturates throughout the cake mix without turning it into a batter.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly on top of everything to add gooey chocolate pockets.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until the cake is completely set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool before serving. Top with whipped cream or ice cream if desired for an extra indulgent finish.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the liquid into the cake mix; just enough to moisten the base for even baking.
  • You can swap semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate chips for different levels of sweetness.
  • Letting the cake cool before serving allows it to set properly and makes slicing easier.
  • For added texture, consider adding chopped nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking.
  • Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
