Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 2 boxes (3.4 oz each) instant vanilla pudding
- 4 cups cold milk
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the cake mix according to package instructions using water, oil, and eggs. Pour batter into the prepared dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool for 10 minutes. Use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the cake.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and cold milk until thickened. Pour the pudding over the cake, spreading evenly and allowing it to seep into the holes.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours or until the pudding is set.
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just simmering. Pour over the chocolate chips in a bowl and let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Spread the chocolate glaze over the chilled cake. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes before serving.
