Chocolate Dump Cake with Chocolate Pudding
Report
🤎🙌🏻🍫The EASIEST cake ever because you literally dump just 5 ingredients into the pan, mix them in the pan, and bake! No frosting is needed thanks to the melted chocolate chips on top. The cake is super moist, ooey-gooey, and very chocolaty from chocolate cake mix, chocolate pudding, and chocolate chips! Perfect for casual entertaining, birthdays, anniversaries, and more!

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and spray a 9x13-inch pan very well with cooking spray.
- Evenly sprinkle the cake mix into the pan and then sprinkle the pudding mix over the top; set aside momentarily.
- Melt the butter (about 1 minute in the microwave on high power, or as necessary) and allow it to cool momentarily.
- To a large measuring cup or bowl, add the milk, the cooled butter, and whisk to combine the wet ingredients.
- Slowly and evenly pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients in the pan.
- Whisk to combine and create a smooth and uniform cake batter, and then smooth it with a spatula to make it flat and neat.
- Evenly sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top. Tip - Use anywhere between 10 to 12 ounces of chips (mini or regular sized). I used a 10 ounce bag of mini chips + about 2 ounces of regular sized because that's what I had on hand and the visual size contrast looks cool I think.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, rotating the pan once midway through baking to ensure even baking. Baking Tips - Cake is done when the edges are set, and the center is set and not raw, although it's okay to pull this cake even if the center looks a bit underdone and gooey. It'll firm up a bit as it cools outside of the oven. Plus there are no eggs in this cake to worry about.
- Serve immediately when warm (cold vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce are amazing touches) or serve when it's cooled a bit. Tips - This is a messy cake and don't expect to cut it into neat and precise slices. We dive in with spoons right into the baking pan while it's warm, or use a serving spoon to dollop portions into bowls or plates.
- Storage - I like to store this cake covered in the fridge where it'll keep for up to 5-7 days and serve the leftovers chilled. It'll keep airtight at room temp for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Chocolate cake mix – I am partial to Duncan Hines Devil’s Food Cake Mix which is 15.25 ounces. Betty Crocker Triple Chocolate Fudge and other Betty Crocker chocolate flavor cake mixes tend to be a bit skimpier, around 13.25 ounces so you’ll end up with less cake, which is why I go with Duncan Hines. Use a mix you know you love.
- Instant chocolate pudding mix – I use Jello Instant Chocolate Pudding (family size) which comes in a 5.9 ounce box. Other Jello brand pudding mix such as vanilla are slightly smaller. Store brands or other brands may vary in size as well. A few ounces one way or the other won’t affect the outcome of the cake.
