Seriously…I don’t do this…
I don’t want to give you the wrong impression. I’m honestly not like this…
I’m a good girl. I go to bed early, drink more water than wine (well, sometimes), I floss every day and always wear my sunscreen. Oh, and once in 10th grade, I totally read my entire United States history textbook just for fun. For fun!
Like I said…I don’t do this.
Well, except for this one time. And you know what? I didn’t regret it. Because somehow, this little chocolate cake made from a BOXED MIX and a PACKAGE OF PUDDING was one of the best things I’ve ever put in my mouth.
Like I said, I’m a good girl. I don’t lie.
What are you waiting for? I won’t tell if you won’t.
Chocolate Pudding Dump Cake
Ingredients:
1 chocolate boxed cake mix
1 small package chocolate pudding
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups (large handful) chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare the pudding with the milk according to package directions. Add the cake mix (just the dry mix–don’t add anything else) and stir well to combine (batter will be thick).
Smooth batter into a greased 9 x 13-inch pan. Scatter chocolate chips on top.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until edges pull away from sides.
Time:
40 minutes

April 6, 2011 at 7:41 amWish you were here so I could give it to you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🙂

April 6, 2011 at 7:58 amHappy Bday Veggie Girl!! This cake looks so good, Jenna!
charlotte
February 18, 2015 at 7:52 pmLooks like a 8×8 pan was used instead of the 9×13 that recipe called for. Which is correct size to use????
Traci
February 28, 2015 at 6:03 amI had the same question. I made it using a 9 x 13 and it was way too thin. Not like a cake at all. Must really require an 8 x 8.
Mellie
April 6, 2011 at 8:55 amHappy bday!

April 6, 2011 at 5:24 amJENNA!! You have to stop making so many delicious things! I’m so far behind on all the ELR recipes I want to try 🙂 This may just need to move to top of the list though…it’s a toss up between these and yesterday’s breakfast bars. Haha.
jenna laughs
April 6, 2011 at 5:26 amI just looked at the recipe and thought, “Is this real?!” Four ingredients make a cake that looks that fudgy? No butter? No oil? I just added this to my “have to try” list. Thanks, lady!
Christy
April 19, 2011 at 11:29 pmI’m sure that the cake mix calls for oil and eggs.
Samantha
May 12, 2012 at 5:29 pmYou don’t use the ingredients the box of cake mix calls for, though. Just the ingredients she’s listed.
megan @ blackberries for jam
April 6, 2011 at 5:30 amDump cakes seem to be the rage where my parents live in the South. Your version is by far the most delicious one I’ve seen!
Ali
April 6, 2011 at 5:32 amYum! Just wondering, Jenna, do you think you could use FF SF Chocolate Pudding? I mean, we’re using chocolate pudding from a box anyways, right? 🙂
Dawn
April 29, 2013 at 12:17 pmLove this! I used Sugar free chocolate pudding. It turned out great! Just open the pudding, mix with the milk, then dump in all the cake powder from your cake box. By the way, I used yellow cake mix because that was all I had on hand and it still turned out chocolaty and tasty! I also used about a half of a bag of the chocolate chips and when it was still warm from the oven I spread the chips over the top of the cake. Make a nice layer of “frosting” to dip into as you work your way down into the cake! Love, Love, Love this one!!! I like that it has no eggs or oil, so easy!
barbm
February 17, 2015 at 10:07 amI’m confused. It does NOT say instant pudding, so to “prepare pudding with milk according to directions” on box, you have to cook it. Did she mean instant pudding?
Shirley
April 5, 2015 at 5:15 amOk not happy yes its a instant pudding but I made it in a 9x 13 like stated it is so thin its just terrible because of it it is like a bar not a cake and kind of hard not soft. I think its a 8×8 cake .Its Easter and my dessert is no good.. NOT HAPPY
Lesley Lifting Life
April 6, 2011 at 5:34 amI haven’t had a boxed cake in quite some time either … but it sure does sound easy, and look delicious!
Molly
April 6, 2011 at 5:36 amThat’s what she said.
Sorry, had to. 🙂
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat
April 6, 2011 at 5:37 amOh my. This is amazing. I might just have to celebrate my 3/4 birthday (since my half birthday has already passed) so that I have an excuse to make it. Actually…. maybe I’ll make it just because. 😉
jenny @ Fitness Health and Food
April 6, 2011 at 5:40 amYes what a classic!
I love that you’re including it despite it’s humble beginnings! 🙂
Estela @ Weekly Bite
April 6, 2011 at 5:44 amThis sounds like my kind of cake!! Looks perfect 🙂

Jessica @ How Sweet

April 6, 2011 at 6:13 amyes, definitely a classic recipe. exciting to see this little cake featured here!
R @ Learning As I Chop
April 6, 2011 at 6:16 amEh, once in a while it’s fun to take shortcuts. There’s also something very nostalgic about these mixes
Lucy @ The Sweet Touch
April 6, 2011 at 7:24 amI agree!!
One of my friends makes this and she sprinkles sugar on top (because it’s obvi not sweet enough;). Gives it a sweet crunch and all you need is one little square before you go into a sugar overload!

April 6, 2011 at 11:26 amYep. I’m the same way.
I call it my “Fake and Bake”.

Hannah (Culture Connoisseur)
April 6, 2011 at 6:20 amThis is your best “worst recipe” ever. Looks to die for…and I imagine if one ate enough it could be the end of you. But what a great way to go!
Christie {Nourishing Circle}
April 6, 2011 at 6:28 amLooks delicious, Jenna. Some of the best things in life are theses sorts of things. My sister makes a delicious cake from a box mix. I don’t know the exact recipe from it is all from boxes and can. I believe it is a yellow cake mix cooked in a 9 x 13 pan. While it is warm, she pokes holes in it and pours on a can of sweetened condensed milk and a can of cream de coconut. Then, she tops it will cool whip and shredded coconut and let it sit in the fridge for about 4 days. It is killer!
Tasha @ Voracious
April 6, 2011 at 6:30 amI never thought I would want to make a recipe with the word ‘dump’ in the title, but I have to admit, this looks delicious. Almost enough chocolate to satisfy me. 😉
Jen @ keepitsimplefoods
April 6, 2011 at 6:33 amThis looks delicious, but not so sure about using the word “dump” in a recipe title for chocolate cake. 😛
Lauren
April 6, 2011 at 6:39 amHaha, you’re so funny 😉
Kelly
April 6, 2011 at 6:43 amYUM! This looks like the perfect cheat dessert.

d.liff @ yelleBELLYboo
April 6, 2011 at 6:52 amI feel ya – I am embarrassed to buy boxed cake mix. But this looks so darn simple – I might need to try it. I’ll buy from the self-checkout and move the box really quickly from my basket to my reusable bag 🙂
Steph @321delish
April 6, 2011 at 6:54 amWOW. This is SUPER easy and looks ooey gooey delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Rhonda
April 6, 2011 at 6:56 amThis recipe is in our old, old church cook book . I think my husbands grandmother submitted it to the ladies aide years and years ago. Its still a keeper! We throw crushed walnuts on top before we bake it.
Lauren at Keep it Sweet
April 6, 2011 at 6:59 amYou would think a “dump cake” would be bad…. but this looks SO good!

April 6, 2011 at 7:13 amYour secret is safe with me:) I might have to try this cake when I get a chocolate craving!
Meredith @ An Epic Change
April 6, 2011 at 7:34 amI think that homemade is best, but I certainly don’t see a problem with boxed mixes every once in awhile. I don’t think you have to give them a bad rap by saying you “don’t do this”.
Heather at Heather's Dish
April 6, 2011 at 7:34 amIt’s all about the dump cake…thi can only mean an extra 5 lbs before bikini season 😉

Tara
April 6, 2011 at 7:39 amHey, I love a homemade cake that takes time and love BUT those box cakes and mixes can also be so tasty! I love the yellow cake mix from Duncan Hines or Betty Crocker….they are damn good, on occasion 🙂
Tina
April 6, 2011 at 8:05 amI’m about to head out for a dental appointment and I’ll be completely honest…I’m so making this as soon as I get home! Is that wrong?? Maybe. 😉

Kelly @ Laughter, Strength, and Food
April 6, 2011 at 8:05 amThis looks SOO good! I actually have a box of white cake mix that I just keep staring at because I’m trying to think of how to use it. I usually don’t use boxes either!
jenna
April 6, 2011 at 8:08 amVanilla pudding and white chocolate chips! ahhhh
Lauren
April 6, 2011 at 8:06 amLove it! Pudding mix is actually a magical addition to baked goods, that’s always been very mysterious to me…but who cares, it’s delicious, doesn’t hurt to have it every once in a while!

April 6, 2011 at 8:15 amThis is why you’re my favorite blogger 🙂
I must make this asap!

April 6, 2011 at 8:48 ami totally understand. sometimes these cheat desserts are the best, like my funfetti cake balls. yummy.
Emily @ Savory and Savage

I like it, keepin’ it real.
I bet there are some fun things one could do to a Funfetti Cake too…

Elena
April 6, 2011 at 10:08 amI never keep cake mix on hand, but for this I think I might just start!

April 6, 2011 at 10:21 amThis looks really good! Sometimes you just gotta cheat a little 🙂 You know what would be good with this too? Peanut butter chips!
Julie (Food & Other Things)
April 6, 2011 at 10:29 amI love cake that comes from a box mix! This looks delicious!
penny
April 6, 2011 at 10:35 amI’m a vanilla girl, and I bet this would be awesome with yellow cake, white choc chips and vanilla pudding.
Meghan @ StruggleMuffins
April 6, 2011 at 10:38 amOh dearrrr…this is trouble. I wonder if this cake could be used as the cakey layer in a trifle? Maybe it would be pudding overload, but maybe -just maybe -it would be awesome.
Heather @ Get Healthy with Heather
April 6, 2011 at 10:58 amPudding with a box cake mix is the bomb! I love lemon pudding with poppyseeds added to yellow cake mix. This looks awesome I want a piece!

Justeen @ Blissful Baking
April 6, 2011 at 2:24 pmThere’s nothing wrong with using boxed cake mix from time to time, especially if it’s chocolate! 🙂
Kathryn
April 6, 2011 at 2:56 pmOh, I don’t EVER do things like that either…which means I’m definitely not printing out the recipe right now and heading to the store…no way.
Dana
April 6, 2011 at 4:31 pmThis looks like the PERFECT thing to make for our school luncheon tomorrow. Easy as cake! 🙂 I was wondering if you used an 8×8 (from the pictures) or 13×9 pan (like it says in the directions)…I’d hate to mess it up! Thanks for the awesome recipe, I already can’t wait to eat it tomorrow with lunch!
Cara
April 6, 2011 at 4:59 pmThat looks wonderful! Sometimes you just have to do the box mix thing, and it works especially when it is chocolate!

Erin
April 6, 2011 at 6:49 pmI am not sure if I should be thanking or cursing you for showing this to me. I just made it with Funfetti cake mix and cheesecake pudding. Substituted the chocolate chips for white, and decided to throw some strawberries on top while I was at it. I may eat the entire pan.
jenna
April 6, 2011 at 9:20 pmdangggg that sounds amazing. I want some of YOUR cake!
Gillian G. @ When Bread Is Broken
April 6, 2011 at 8:34 pmI like this. I like this very much. And I think being a college kid makes it only slightly more acceptable to make this.
Colleen
April 7, 2011 at 6:22 amQuestion – the recipe says 9×13, but that looks like a square baking dish…can you clarify? I was going to make this tonight. Thanks Jenna!
jenna
April 7, 2011 at 6:49 amI baked mine in a square baking dish because I halved the recipe. To bake the whole recipe, use a 9 x 13 baking dish 🙂
Shanna, Like Banana
April 7, 2011 at 8:15 amGAH! This looks awesome and there are so many variations with the pudding and cake mix. Love it!
laurie
April 7, 2011 at 10:12 amJenna, I want to make this for a family dinner this week. Did you use “Cook n Serve” or “Instant” chocolate pudding mix?
jenna
April 7, 2011 at 10:30 amyou can use either! I used instant but using cook and serve would be fine, too. Just make sure you make the pudding with milk, not water!
Amanda
April 7, 2011 at 11:37 amYum! I make a Pumpkin Spice dumpcake with yellow cake mix and walnuts. I’ve been known to finish it off from time to time…
Lelia
April 7, 2011 at 12:36 pmI had a recipe similar to this years ago. I started putting some of the chocolate chips into it & some on top. Put in oven to melt a little & swirl! That was a good potluck cake. Thanks!
Sammy
April 8, 2011 at 3:32 pmQuestion: it says here to use a 9 x 13 inch pan….but on your printable recipe page it says to use an 8-inch pan….which is correct? ?
jenna
April 8, 2011 at 3:34 pma 9 x 13 inch pan—I need to fix the printable! Sorry!
Evie
August 4, 2013 at 8:34 amRecipe has never neen fixed, I used the 8 inch pan because I didn’t read these comments until later. The cake still looks good, just hope it came out. I also added 1 1/2 cups of chips as the recipe called for and it equals an entire bag. Looked like a lot of chips to me but did it anyways. Also didn’t have chocolate chips so used butterscotch. I have company coming for supper and made this cake as the dessert, hope it’ll be OK but now after reading the comments, I’m wondering. I’ll let you know.
kayla
April 8, 2011 at 10:47 pmLet’s be real here, this is the perfect PMS dessert. Quick and easy. I’m making it tomorrow!!
Also, just curious, but have you tried any other variations of this? I’m thinking of trying white cake mix with caramel pudding…maybe it’ll turn out to be an easier version of my favorite dulce de leche blondies! I’m guessing you can’t really go wrong; it’s cake and pudding, who am I kidding? It’ll all taste delicious! Thanks for the “better” version of a dump cake! I’ve never been a fan of the church pot luck standard yellow cake with cherry pie filling and pineapple, so I’m glad to have an alternative!
Maggie
April 9, 2011 at 8:34 amThank you so much for this recipe! This is going to be my new go-to for something quick and delicious! I love it so much I dedicated a blog post to it.

Missy
April 9, 2011 at 4:16 pmOh my. Just ate two small pieces of this still a little warm from the oven. It is wonderful. My tween daughter and niece also agree. We haven’t shared it with the boys……yet. Thanks so much for posting this!

April 9, 2011 at 9:44 pmThis cake is so delish!!!!!! I made it today while making cake pops for a baby shower tomorrow, because of it being so quick to make, I just had to whip this thing together!!!! My daughters absolutely went crazy over it….. I even drove to my parents house so they could taste how heavenly this cake really is! They LOVED it too!!!!! Oh, and I think I will be making another one tomorrow!!!!! lol, thanks for sharing it with us, and I am so thankful I found your blog a few days ago, you have given me so so many great ideas and recipes to try for my family!!!!! You ROCK!!!!!!

Ellen @ sunnysideupblog.typepad.com
April 11, 2011 at 5:58 pmI totally showed this recipe some love and made it today! It was beyond decadent and I LOVED it!! I posted it on my blog as well and mentioned you, Jenna! You are seriously one of my food heroes 🙂 Please keep sharing amazing recipes!
Ely
April 12, 2011 at 4:33 pmThis cake is even more amazing the next day. I ate a whole row of the pan today while the BF was at work… Well, I ate half a row, then decided if I ate the whole row it would be less noticeable when he came home. Flawed logic? Maybe. Delicious? Definitely.
Suzanne
April 13, 2011 at 2:33 pmQuestion: Do we follow the cake mix instructions as well?

April 26, 2011 at 6:55 amJenna, should I be adding the eggs and oil that the boxed cake mix asks for also or just the dry mix?
jenna
April 27, 2011 at 9:00 amnope! Just follow my instructions–you don’t need anything extra other than pudding and milk.
Heather
April 26, 2011 at 8:57 pmI’m confused about that as well… do you mix the cake mix as directed then add the pudding mixed with milk? Any advice would be great!
jenna
April 27, 2011 at 8:59 amNo you don’t make the cake mix as directed. All you do is combine the pudding with the milk then dump it in the dry cake mix and stir. Then, bake 🙂
Heather
April 26, 2011 at 8:57 pmLooks yummy though!

Kristina
April 27, 2011 at 5:20 pmI’ve made this twice, but the second time I changed it up a little bit, and it was even better than the first time. I added an extra package of chocolate chips to the mix itself, along with about a cup of marshmallows. It was AMAZING. 🙂

July 28, 2011 at 9:08 pmOk, this looks delish! I had to make it. I only had a funfetti cake mix, some SF/FF butterscotch pudding, and some chocolate chips. It’s in the oven right now. Hopefully it tastes yummy. I’ll be making this for get togethers or a quick dessert. How much easier can it get? Thanks again!!!

October 8, 2011 at 8:04 amJenna — I made this last night for a friend’s birthday party tonight and truly could not restrain myself. 1. The batter was delish and safe to eat (no eggs!). 2. When the cake was cooked, I cut the cake into brownie-sized squares that I could display on a platter… that way no one would notice that I had to sample a piece at the wee hours of the night. Thank you! 🙂

October 18, 2011 at 10:17 pmHaha…it’s not so bad, your chocolate chips are from a pretty reputable place! 😉

January 14, 2012 at 1:25 pmFound this through pinterest…About to go make it RIGHT NOW, lol. Planning on topping it with some vanilla ice cream! And “dump cake” is totally a Southern thing- usually yellow cake mix topped with butter and pineapple/cherries.
I’m thinking I might come up with a few versions of this! LOL! It looks so amazing! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

February 1, 2012 at 12:14 pmInstant pudding or cooked kind?
Rhonda
February 5, 2012 at 9:43 amI discovered this recipe almost a year ago and it is absolutely amazing and so easy! I love the batter too! I will “tweak” the recipe as well. Maybe vanilla one time or strawberry the next. Anyway you use this concept it IS delish!

February 13, 2012 at 9:45 amIs the pudding mix the 6 1/2 cup box? Is that the small one? Mine says to combine with 3 cups of milk on the pudding mix, but did you combine it with 1 1/2 cups of milk instead? Just wanted to double check! Thanks!

April 2, 2012 at 7:07 pmI made this for a church supper and my dish came back CLEAN! It was the first to go, and got rave reviews! So easy, which was great, since I had a sick child and had committed myself to bringing a dessert! Thanks for posting! For others – I used the small box of instant sugar free/fat free pudding mix and used the 1 3/4 cups milk as directed on box for the pie recipe. Turned out great! Can’t wait to try out some other combinations (even though, we know chocolate is the best!)
Lisa
May 13, 2012 at 6:12 amQuick question….instant or cooked pudding? And if you use the cooked, do you dump the cake mix in while it’s still hot?
jenna
May 13, 2012 at 7:30 amInstant pudding (prepared with milk but cold, not cooked.)
Pamela
May 17, 2012 at 6:56 amI found your recipe on pintrest and it sounded so good I just had to try it the next day. It seemed so easy I printed off the recipe and let my 12 year old daughter make it. She followed the directions but it didn’t turn out right. It was all goopey in the middle and we couldn’t figure out why!? Problem is in the print version it says to bake it in an 8 in pan not a 9 x 13 like in the recipe online. Thought I’d let you know….
Susie Watiker
June 13, 2012 at 6:23 amyou can make it even easier & just as delicious by subsituting the pudding mix & milk with a 15.75 oz. can of premade pudding. quick & easy!!
Jasmine
August 12, 2012 at 6:00 pmI tried this recipe last week and I only have one word – WOOHOO! I was so good, rich and moist. I couldn’t believe a cake that was so simple could be so good. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Jennifer
August 26, 2012 at 9:43 amYour instructions say to prepare pudding as directed on package. But, I doubt we are suppose to cook the pudding first. Nor use 2 cups milk as the package calls for.
So, I cooked the pudding first, and it was hardly spreadable. Is this correct? Something was definitely wrong with the result, probably cooking the pudding first was wrong.

November 3, 2012 at 9:03 amIs this better warm, or room temp.? I was going to take to a pot luck and wondering if I should make it the night before, or wait make it right before we left the house. Any suggestions? thanks! (sorry if you answered this above and I didn’t see it.)
Pam
November 28, 2012 at 3:22 pmJust made the cake (husband is eating it now and moaning). Instead of regular chocolate chips on top, I used chocolate mint chips. “Tis the season! Very good — thanks for the recipe. It’s great for those “I need a dessert quick” days!

sandy
December 19, 2012 at 5:17 am🙁 major fail for this one. I was super excited to use 4 ingredients and get this awesome dessert, but that was not my case. The batter was SO thick, that it would not spread evenly. I had to use a spatula, wax paper and my fingers….it was a mess. I still had hope, that it would be good, despite that fact that it was a giant clump of non-spreadable mix. The texture was sponge-y and I was hoping it would be moist, but it was not. I’m surprised no one else had a review like mine 🙁
Da
January 15, 2013 at 9:42 amDo you use INSTANT pudding? Or the kind that needs cooking? Please clarify?
Pat
January 27, 2013 at 4:30 amI triered this recipe using regular Jello pudding mix, not instant, and it was not really fudgey. Not that it wasn’t good – all that chocolate can’t be anything but yummy. But I was a bit disappointed that the cake part wasn’t more gooey. Any suggestions/thoughts??

February 24, 2013 at 7:51 pmI just prepared it and its in the oven. I am really worried about how it is going to turn out because the batter was unspreadably thick. Is the 1.5 cups of milk in addition to the milk used in the pudding recipe, or is it the total amount of milk used? Thank you!
Jo Ann
February 27, 2013 at 2:43 pmI have been making this cake for over 20 years (without chocolate chips) I use the cooked pudding with the cake mix, put batter in an angel food cake pan. After it cools I use dental floss to cut two slices – which leave a little top piece. I then spread hot fudge, sliced bananas and fresh whipped cream and layer again … this is my Hot Fudge Whip Cream Banana Cake. The last time I made it as a trifle and it was just as good. This is definitely the best fudgy chocolate cake ever and so easy to make … I’m going to try your recipe next time.
Jeanine
March 3, 2013 at 5:31 pmI tried it last night. It was awful. I tried it once with the 8×8 and the 13×9. I followed the instructions to the letter. I cannot believe I wasted my time and my money on this.
I should have seen the inconsistencies in the comments, the pictures, and my own gut reaction.
If there was an unlike button, I’d press it right now.

March 4, 2013 at 2:26 amI just made this with ff sf cook and serve chocolate pudding with skim milk and it is so delicious. I also have a box of instant cheesecake pudding and I’m trying to decide if I should mix it with a chocolate cake mix or maybe strawberry with white chocolate chips. Yum!
Sarah
March 8, 2013 at 4:02 pmso my husband grabbed like pudding in the cups. can i use this?
Heather
March 12, 2013 at 8:02 pmNo it must be pudding mix.
Heather
March 12, 2013 at 8:02 pmI’m making this cake tonight for the second time. The first time I made it I thought it was ok but my family loved it! I did think it was hard to spread as well. Whoever reads this recipe do not cook the pudding or make the pudding. Your simply mixing the ingredients together (cake mix, pudding & milk). I use sugarfree fat free instant chocolate pudding however this time I mixed the cake, pudding and skim milk all together instead of making the pudding separate. The batter was more manageable and tasted the same as the last time. It’s in the oven…….. I also ran out of chocolate chips so I combined butterscotch and semi sweet chocolate chips together 🙂
Julie
March 14, 2013 at 9:00 pmDid you bake in an 8×8 or a 13x9x2 pan?

March 30, 2013 at 6:56 pmI just wanted to let you know that I tried this tonight & something was very wrong. It never cooked properly. I discovered that your “print” link is different. Your recipe says to bake in a 9 x 13 pan but the printed copy says to bake in an 8″ pan. I will try it again but I’ll make sure to use the 9 x 13 pan next time. Thanks for the recipe.

April 5, 2013 at 8:09 amInstant pudding?
Meredith
April 6, 2013 at 11:09 amArgh, I just tried to make this. But I didn’t realize you meant INSTANT pudding, so I got the cook & serve kind — it does not look like it will turn out. You might want to update your post to reflect that. 🙁
Lori
April 11, 2013 at 12:18 pmI just made this for the 2nd time. I used fat free, sugar free pudding and fat free milk it turned out very nice. I just Love, Love , Love this recipe. It is so simple to do. It does come out a little thick but spreads just fine. I drizzled melted caramel over the top and it was yummy!!!! My husband loves it also and the added benefit of the FF SF is awesome. Thanx

Oh it is so good! Enjoy

June 5, 2013 at 4:43 pmI have the same question I’ve noticed others have: is it instant pudding or cook ‘n serve pudding? I have tried to dutifully read through all 173 comments for the answer but can’t seem to find it. PLEASE revise/update the original recipe to answer this question. I know others will also be happy you did.
And at the same time, perhaps you can clarify whether it’s an 8×8 or 9×13 pan. There’s a discrepancy between your picture, the blog directions, and the “print” directions. Thanks!

June 6, 2013 at 7:31 pmI had to add a little extra milk to get it to mix together–used soured milk and added sliced almonds on top as well…. Mine fell in the center but still tasted PHENOMENAL!!
gwen
June 6, 2013 at 7:35 pmI used a 9x9in pan– it raised to the top and looked beautiful… until I tested the center too soon and it fell. baked it at least 35 min @350

July 13, 2013 at 8:19 pmI made it with yellow cake mix and the chocolate pudding. Baking right now going to add Buttercream frosting. This awesome because the batter is almost brownie like plus with no eggs I can eat the batter that is left over. SCORE. Can’t wait to see how it comes out. I used the cook and serve Before I saw the comments so will see.

September 19, 2013 at 8:18 pmI made it and I love it!! Even easy for a quick weeknight dessert! But I have a question: do you let the pudding set in the fridge for 5 minutes before you add the cake mix? Or, do you just mix in the cake mix as soon as you have finished whisking the pudding and milk? I used instant. Thanks! Jello says let the pudding set for 5 min in fridge.

November 23, 2013 at 2:27 pmI LOVE this. My variation is I use French vanilla cake mix, white chocolate pudding, and a variation of white chocolate chips and chopped pumpkin spice wafers. It’s delicious!

Gerri
February 6, 2014 at 2:20 pmI’m a little confused. You said to follow pudding package directions, then list 1 1/2 c. milk in your cake directions. Do I add the 2 c. milk called for in the pudding directions or the 1 and 1/2 c. on your cake direction? Looks delicious, by the way!

June 4, 2014 at 7:27 amHi,
I’m a little confused by the pan used in this recipe and I noticed a few other people were also. The recipe says to use a 9×13 inch pan, but you have a 8×8 pan pictured. I scrolled through lots of comments to see if you answered the question, but didn’t see a reple. Can you please clarify what sixe pan should be used? Thanks so much!!
Pam
June 5, 2014 at 7:03 amThe directions state 9×13, but the picture looks like a square baking dish. Please verify which size to use. Thanks!

July 2, 2014 at 5:27 pmCan I use instant pudding???
Karen
July 18, 2014 at 7:37 pmI just made these this evening. I used an instant sugar-free chocolate pudding mix and a sugar-free chocolate cake mix. I wasn’t sure how it would turn out using the sugar-free mixes but I think it turned out good. It’s more like a brownie than cake . I had to have a scoop of Breyer’s carbsmart vanilla ice cream with it too. I want to try putting peanut butter chips on top instead of semi-sweet chips next time. Will definitely make again and try different variations.
Courtney
August 14, 2014 at 2:58 pmI made this with red velvet cake mix and instant cheesecake pudding. Unfortunately the cheesecake flavor didn’t come thru. However, it was wonderful! I made this in a 9×13 with instant pudding. I mixed the 1 1/2 cups milk with the pudding mix for about a minute then added the cake mix. It is really thick and I had difficulty spreading it in the pan. I ended up spraying my hands with cooking spray then patting the mix down into the pan. I will be trying this more with different flavor combos, like white cake mix and coconut pudding with choc chips and coconut flakes on top, lemon cake mix with lemon pudding and white choc chips, choc with caramel pieces on top… MMmm the possibilities seem endless! Thanks for the recipe!

Joy Menter
February 18, 2015 at 4:50 pmI just made this and it was so thick I could barely stir it. It was very difficult to spread in the pan as well. Even though the recipe called for a 9×13 inch pan, your photo looks like the cake is in an 8×8 inch pan. I hope it turns out, it looked flat.

February 19, 2015 at 7:56 amI found the answers everyone is asking about. Here are the answers:
jenna April 7, 2011 at 6:49 am
I baked mine in a square baking dish because I halved the recipe. To bake the whole recipe, use a 9 x 13 baking dish
Jenna, I want to make this for a family dinner this week. Did you use “Cook n Serve” or “Instant” chocolate pudding mix?
REPLY
jenna April 7, 2011 at 10:30 am
you can use either! I used instant but using cook and serve would be fine, too. Just make sure you make the pudding with milk, not water!
Question: it says here to use a 9 x 13 inch pan….but on your printable recipe page it says to use an 8-inch pan….which is correct? ?
REPLY
jenna April 8, 2011 at 3:34 pm
a 9 x 13 inch pan—I need to fix the printable! Sorry!
Laura
February 27, 2015 at 9:35 pmI melted a smidge more then a half cup of creamy peanut butter and spread it on the top before putting on the chocolate chips. I must admit to you now … I have a serious new addiction! YUMMMM!

ROSE VICENTE
April 14, 2017 at 5:41 pmWell looks like been awhile. Its Easter 2017 I have decided to try this looks really yummy. Need it for a shower. Sure it will be huge hit. Decided instead of chocolate chips will try peanut butter chips. Should taste somewhat like a reese pnut butter cake. Can’t wait thank you so much for the save! I just ruined 2 pumpkin breads no idea was my favorite banana bread recipe. Oh well need to find a better pumpkin bread one! Anyone has one please send thank you! Can’t wait to try this tomorrow Happy Easter or Passover to all 🙂
