Description

Chocolate lovers rejoice with this sinful Death by Chocolate Dump Cake that delivers pure indulgence in minutes. Layers of rich chocolate, creamy pudding, and velvety frosting create a dessert so irresistible you’ll want to savor every heavenly bite.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
  • 1 small box instant chocolate pudding

Secondary Ingredients:

  • 2 cups milk

Flavoring Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven by heating it to 350°F and coating a 9 x 13 baking pan with a light grease layer to prevent sticking.
  2. In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly blend the chocolate cake mix, instant chocolate pudding, and cocoa powder until a uniform dry mixture forms.
  3. Gradually introduce milk into the dry ingredients, gently stirring until the batter achieves a smooth, consistent texture without overmixing.
  4. Transfer the chocolatey batter into the prepared baking pan, ensuring an even distribution across the surface.
  5. Liberally scatter chocolate chips across the top of the batter, creating a delectable chocolate-studded landscape.
  6. Slide the pan into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, monitoring until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean and the cake appears fully set.
  7. Remove from the oven and let the cake rest for a short period, allowing it to cool slightly and settle, which helps intensify the rich chocolate flavors.
  8. Slice and serve the indulgent cake while still warm, celebrating the intense chocolate experience that awaits.

Notes

  • Enhance the chocolate intensity by using high-quality dark chocolate chips for a richer, more complex flavor profile.
  • Customize the dessert for gluten-free diets by substituting the regular cake mix with a gluten-free chocolate cake mix without compromising taste.
  • Control moisture by checking the cake’s doneness with a toothpick test, ensuring it comes out with just a few moist crumbs for the perfect texture.
  • Elevate the presentation by serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate ganache for an extra indulgent experience.
