Ingredients:
For the Cake:
- 1 box yellow cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box—usually eggs, oil, and water)
- 2 (3.4 oz) boxes instant vanilla pudding mix
- 4 cups cold milk
For the Chocolate Glaze:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup heavy cream
Directions:
- Bake the Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare the yellow cake mix according to the box instructions. Pour the batter into a 9×13-inch baking dish and bake as directed. Let it cool completely.
Poke It!: Once the cake is cool, use the handle of a wooden spoon or a straw to poke holes all over the cake, about 1 inch apart. Go crazy with it! The more holes, the more deliciousness soaks in. 😜
Make the Pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until smooth. Pour the pudding over the cake, making sure to fill all the holes. Use a spatula to spread it evenly on top. Pop it in the fridge for about an hour to set. 🍮❄️
Chocolate Glaze Time: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the heavy cream for about 1-2 minutes, or until it’s hot but not boiling. Add the chocolate chips and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Then, whisk until smooth and glossy. 🍫✨
Glaze It Up: Pour the chocolate glaze over the chilled cake, spreading it evenly to cover the pudding layer. Let it set for about 15-20 minutes or pop it back in the fridge to speed it up. 🕒🍫
Slice & Serve: Cut yourself a big slice and enjoy this creamy, dreamy cake! It’s perfect for parties or just treating yourself. 🍰😋
