A fudgy, self-saucing chocolate cake made with just four ingredients: cake mix, cook-and-serve pudding mix, milk, and chocolate chips. Ready in 20 minutes.
In a 3-quart saucepan over medium-low heat, combine milk and pudding cook until thick, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
Add cake mix and mix well.
Pour the batter into a 9x13-inch pan.
Sprinkle chocolate chips over the batter.
Bake for approximately 20 minutes. When it's done the cake will be shiny and will pull away from sides of pan.
Recipe Tips
The center will look soft when you pull the cake from the oven. That is the pudding layer, not underdone batter. If the top is set and the edges have pulled slightly from the pan, the cake is done.
Lining the baking dish with aluminum foil before adding the batter makes slicing and removing portions significantly easier.
For the cleanest slices, let the cake rest for 5 minutes before serving.
This cake is best served warm. If it has cooled, reheat individual portions in the microwave to bring back the gooey texture.
