Equipment
- 1 9x13-inch baking dish
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 whisk
- 1 measuring cups
- 1 measuring spoons
- 1 oven mitts
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix 15.25 oz
- 1 box chocolate instant pudding mix 3.9 oz
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet or dark
- 3 1/4 cups hot water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- optional whipped cream or ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greased the 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, chocolate instant pudding mix, eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended and smooth.
- Pour the batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the batter.
- Carefully pour the hot water over the entire cake mixture. Do not stir; this allows for the cake to have pudding-like consistency.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, topped with whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
