A simple and decadent Chocolate Dump Cake combining chocolate cake mix, chocolate pudding, and chocolate chips for a rich, moist dessert that’s quick to prepare with minimal effort.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 chocolate cake mix (approximately 15.25 oz)
  • 1 (3.9 oz) box chocolate pudding mix

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk

Toppings

  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Pudding and Milk: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and 2 cups of milk until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Cake Mix: Gradually stir the dry chocolate cake mix into the pudding mixture, mixing until fully combined but do not overmix.
  4. Prepare to Bake: Pour the batter into the greased baking pan and spread evenly.
  5. Add Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle 1 cup of chocolate chips evenly over the top of the batter to add extra chocolate flavor and texture.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute the chocolate chips with white or peanut butter chips for variety.
  • For a dairy-free version, use almond or oat milk and dairy-free pudding mix.
  • Ensure the pan is well-greased to avoid sticking due to the moist batter.
  • The cake is best served warm but also delicious when cooled.
  • If you prefer a stronger chocolate flavor, add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the pudding mixture.
