Ingredients
1 box (15.25 oz) devil’s food cake mix with included ingredients
1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
2 cups cold milk
2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Chopped chocolate and chocolate syrup for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the devil’s food cake mix per package instructions and spread into a greased 13×9-inch pan. Bake for 5-7 minutes under 350°F if using, then cool completely.
While the cake bakes, combine pudding mix and cold milk in a bowl. Mix until smooth.
Once the cake is cool, use a skewer to poke 30-40 holes evenly across the surface. Pour the pudding mixture over the cake and let stand for 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, whip heavy cream, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped topping over the cake.
Garnish with chopped chocolate and a drizzle of chocolate syrup. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use cold ingredients for the pudding and whipping cream for optimal results.
For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate for the cake and syrup.
Cake can be made up to 1 day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
