Description

Chocolate Dump Cake is a simple and indulgent dessert featuring a rich combination of chocolate cake mix, creamy chocolate pudding, and melty chocolate chips, all baked together for a delightful treat that’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 chocolate cake mix (about 15.25 oz)
  • 1 (3.9 oz) box chocolate pudding
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the proper cooking temperature while you prepare the batter.
  2. Mix Pudding and Milk: In a large bowl, combine the chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups of milk and stir thoroughly until the pudding is smooth and begins to thicken slightly.
  3. Add Cake Mix: Stir in the entire dry chocolate cake mix into the pudding mixture, blending well but keeping the texture slightly lumpy; do not fully combine to maintain the dump cake texture.
  4. Prepare Baking Pan: Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  5. Pour Mixture: Pour the pudding and cake mix batter into the greased pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  6. Sprinkle Chocolate Chips: Evenly scatter 1 cup of chocolate chips over the top of the batter for patches of gooey chocolate after baking.
  7. Bake the Cake: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the dump cake to cool slightly before serving to let it set and make scooping easier. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Use a 9×13 inch baking pan for best results.
  • Do not overly stir the batter; the lumps help create the dump cake texture.
  • For extra richness, add a tablespoon of butter dotted on top before baking.
  • This dessert can be served warm or cooled to room temperature.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
