Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 1 box instant chocolate pudding (small box)
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking pan: Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking pan well to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, instant chocolate pudding, and cocoa powder thoroughly to create a uniform dry mixture.
  3. Add milk: Pour in the 2 cups of milk and stir gently until the batter is just combined, being careful not to overmix so the cake stays tender.
  4. Pour batter into pan: Transfer the batter evenly into the greased baking pan, smoothing the top slightly for even baking.
  5. Add chocolate chips: Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the surface of the batter to add extra bursts of chocolate flavor and texture.
  6. Bake the cake: Place the pan into a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with minimal moist crumbs.
  7. Cool and serve: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving to enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Ensure the baking pan is well-greased to avoid sticking.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake moist and tender.
  • Chocolate chips can be substituted with nuts or white chocolate chips for variation.
  • Let the cake cool for 10-15 minutes before serving for easier slicing.
  • Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
