This chocolate pudding cake is easy to make and is rich, and when served warm, has lots of melty chocolate on top.
It’s hard to beat this delicious a piece of warm rich and decadent chocolate cake. Growing up my Mom would make this chocolate treat on cold winter nights. When this cake comes out of the oven, it is warm, and the melted chocolate topping is so creamy and delicious.
Chocolate Pudding Cake is easy to make
This chocolate cake is made with very simple ingredients. This recipe has a couple of ingredients that make one delicious cake. A boxed chocolate cake mix and a box of a cook to serve pudding mix are the foundations of this recipe. This will be topped with chocolate chips, and then carefully baked in the oven.
When you make this cake, you will prepare the pudding mix according to the box directions, this will be combined with the dry chocolate cake mix.
The triple layers of chocolate really set this cake apart from other chocolate cake recipes.
When this cake comes out of the oven, you will want to serve this with either whipped cream, or in a pinch, Cool Whip will work. Either topping will work just fine.
If for some reason you do not finish this cake in one sitting, I suggest that you warm the cake in the microwave the second time you serve this cake.

This cake came out extremely moist and tasty. Family loved it and they didn’t miss the frosting. Only one thing about this recipe is that the batter comes out very thick, almost impossible to work with and very hard to spread in the pan. The pudding mix calls for 3 cups of milk. So I am wondering if maybe this recipe should have said 3. I would appreciate any feedback.

The box of pudding mix that I used required only 2 cups of milk. You are right, the mix is very thick, but I believe this was the intent of the recipe.

I have made this cake a lot but in my recipe I put the amount of oil that the cake originally calls for. And then add 2 cups of milk with the pudding.
