Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients called for on the box)
- 1 cup prepared brownie batter (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup whipped cream or Cool Whip
- 1 cup chocolate frosting
- Chocolate shavings or sprinkles for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake: Preheat the oven according to the instructions on the chocolate cake mix box. Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking dish. Prepare the cake batter according to the box instructions and pour it into the baking dish.
- Bake: Bake the cake for the time specified on the box. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10-15 minutes.
- Poke Holes: Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the top of the warm cake. Make sure to create enough holes to allow the brownie batter and pudding to seep into.
- Mix Pudding: In a bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and milk until it thickens. Pour half of the brownie batter over the poked cake, spreading it into the holes. Then pour the pudding mixture over the top, spreading it evenly.
- Add Whipped Cream: Spread the whipped cream or Cool Whip over the pudding layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- Frost: Finally, top the cake with the remaining brownie batter and spread the chocolate frosting over the top. Optionally, sprinkle chocolate shavings or sprinkles for added flair.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Slice and enjoy!
