Ingredients
1 box chocolate cake mix – Any brand works great!
1 small box instant chocolate pudding (3.9 oz) – Adds moisture and richness.
2 cups milk – Whole milk preferred for extra creaminess.
1 tablespoon cocoa powder – Enhances the deep chocolate flavor.
1 ½ cups chocolate chips – Semi-sweet, milk, dark, or even white!
Optional Add-Ins for Extra Decadence:
½ cup chopped nuts – Walnuts or pecans for crunch.
½ cup mini marshmallows – For gooey pockets of sweetness.
¼ cup espresso powder – Intensifies the chocolate flavor!
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat & Prepare the Dish
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
2️⃣ Mix the Pudding Layer
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together instant chocolate pudding mix and milk until smooth and thick.
Let it sit for 5 minutes to set slightly.
3️⃣ Assemble the Dump Cake
Dump the Cake Mix: Evenly spread the chocolate cake mix across the bottom of the greased dish.
Pour the Pudding: Pour the prepared chocolate pudding mixture over the cake mix, spreading evenly.
Sprinkle Cocoa Powder: Lightly dust the cocoa powder over the top.
Add Chocolate Chips: Scatter the chocolate chips generously over the top.
💡 Optional: Add in nuts, marshmallows, or espresso powder for extra richness!
4️⃣ Bake to Gooey Perfection
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly gooey.
⏳ Pro Tip: For an extra molten center, bake 5 minutes less!
5️⃣ Cool & Serve
Let the cake cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm for an ultra gooey, melty chocolate explosion!
