Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ¾ cups of all-purpose flour (if making from scratch)
- 1 ½ cups of sugar (if making from scratch)
- ¾ cup of cocoa powder (if making from scratch)
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder (if making from scratch)
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda (if making from scratch)
- 3 large eggs
- Vegetable oil
- Hot water
- Chocolate pudding mix
- Whipped topping
- Chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and hot water. Beat the mixture for about 2 minutes until it’s smooth and well combined.
- Fold in the chocolate pudding mix until fully incorporated.
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cakes cool, prepare the filling by mixing the whipped topping with half of the chocolate chips. You can also add a bit of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
- Once the cakes have cooled, place one layer on a serving platter. Spread the whipped topping mixture over the top. Place the second cake layer on top and press down gently.
- Use the remaining whipped topping to frost the top and sides of the cake. Sprinkle the rest of the chocolate chips on top for decoration.
- For best results, refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving.

Keywords: Use high-quality chocolate and cocoa powder for the best flavor. Don’t overmix the batter to avoid a denser cake. Feel free to add espresso powder for a mocha flavor or vanilla extract to the whipped topping for extra depth.
