- 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
- 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups milk
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In the dish, pour the dry cake mix evenly over the bottom.
Sprinkle the pudding mix evenly on top.
Pour milk over the dry ingredients—do not stir.
Drizzle melted butter over the surface.
Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly across the top.
Let cool for 10 minutes before serving warm.
- Do not stir the layers; the “dump” method creates the signature gooey texture.
- Substitute milk with half-and-half for an extra creamy finish.
- Use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for a molten-like texture.
- Pair with ice cream or whipped cream for the best experience.
