Description

Calling all chocoholics: you only need five pantry staples to whip up this ultra‑rich, brownie‑style “dump” cake faster than you can say “more chocolate, please!”


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 standard box of chocolate cake mix
  • 1 small package (3.4 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  •  cups chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Prep the Pan
    • Lightly grease a 9×13″ baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. Mix the Base
    • In a bowl, whisk together the dry cake mix, pudding powder, and cocoa until uniform in color.
  3. Add the Liquid
    • Pour in the milk and gently stir just until the batter holds together—avoid overmixing to keep it tender.
  4. Fill & Top
    • Spread the batter evenly across the prepared pan.
    • Scatter the chocolate chips on top for pockets of melty goodness.
  5. Bake & Indulge
    • Slide into a 350°F oven for 28–32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
    • Let it rest a few minutes, then dig in warm—or let it cool completely for firmer, fudgier squares.
