Fudgy & Easy Chocolate Dump Cake
This rich and incredibly moist chocolate dump cake is a decadent and indulgent dessert that is incredibly easy to make.
Ingredients
- 15.25 oz Chocolate cake mix
- 5.10 oz Chocolate instant pudding mix
- 2 ½ cups Milk whole milk, unfavored
- ½ cup Butter melted
- 1 cup Chocolate chips plus more if desired
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 180c (350) and grease the pan with room temperature butter or oil spray.
- To a 13 by 9 inch baking pan, add the chocolate cake mix, and chocolate instant pudding mix and mix it with a whisk until combined.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the milk and melted butter and mix it with a whisk.
- Evenly pour the wet ingredients on top of the dry ingredients in the pan and mix it slightly with a whisk until the dry ingredients are completely covered with the wet ingredients and there are no big clumps of the dry mixture.
- Top the batter with lots of chocolate chips and bake the dump cake in a 180c (350f) preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, depending on how gooey you want your cake to be and depending on how hot your oven is.
- Allow the dump cake to cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes, scoop it into a bowl or a plate and serve with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients. It is important that you use room-temperature ingredients like milk. This step ensures that your mixture mixes into a homogenous mixture and bakes perfectly. You don’t want to place cold batter into the oven.
- Do not open the oven door in the middle of baking, this can cause the cake from sinking in the middle. If you want to check its doneness, check it 5 minutes before the baking time ends.
- Don’t overmix the batter, you don’t want to develop the gluten in the flour. This step ensures you have a moist cake and not a dense and dry cake.
- Grease the pan with softened butter or oil spray to prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.
- Allow the cake to cool for 10-15 minutes, but serve it warm. Top it with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. The contrast of the hot chocolate cake with the melty ice cream or whipped cream is irresistible!
