Death by Chocolate Dump Cake

Step-by-Step Instructions 👩‍🍳

1. Preheat & Prepare the Dish

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.

2. Mix the Pudding Layer

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together instant chocolate pudding mix and milk until smooth and thick.
  • Let it sit for 5 minutes to set slightly.

3. Assemble the Dump Cake

  1. Dump the Cake Mix: Evenly spread the chocolate cake mix across the bottom of the greased dish.
  2. Pour the Pudding: Pour the prepared chocolate pudding mixture over the cake mix, spreading evenly.
  3. Sprinkle Cocoa Powder: Lightly dust the cocoa powder over the top.
  4. Add Chocolate Chips: Scatter the chocolate chips generously over the top. (This is where the magic happens!)

4. Bake to Gooey Perfection

  • Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly gooey.

⏳ Pro Tip: For an extra molten center, bake 5 minutes less!

5. Cool & Serve

  • Let the cake cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.
  • Serve warm for an ultra gooey, melty chocolate explosion!

Storage & Reheating Tips

  • Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
