# Ingredients:
→ Cake Base
01 -
1 box chocolate cake mix
02 -
1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
03 -
1 3/4 cups milk (whole milk preferred)
→ Mix-Ins
04 -
1 cup mini chocolate chips
→ Toppings
05 -
2 cups hot fudge sauce (warmed)
06 -
2 cups whipped cream or whipped topping
07 -
1 cup crushed Oreos or chocolate cookie crumbs
08 -
Optional: additional chocolate chips and cookies for garnish
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, instant chocolate pudding mix, and milk. Stir until fully combined. Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
02 -
Transfer the batter into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread evenly. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
03 -
Allow the cake to cool completely. Use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke evenly-sized holes across the surface of the cake. Pour the warmed hot fudge sauce over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes.
04 -
Spread whipped cream or whipped topping over the cooled and fudged cake. Sprinkle with crushed Oreos or chocolate cookie crumbs. Add additional chips or cookies if desired.
05 -
Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the layers to set. Serve slices chilled or warm, as preferred.
# Tips:
01 -
For a deeper chocolate flavor, substitute brewed coffee for milk in the batter.
02 -
Warm the hot fudge sauce before pouring to achieve the ideal consistency.
03 -
Chilling the cake before serving enhances the flavors and texture.
