Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box yellow cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
- 2 (3.4 oz) boxes instant vanilla pudding mix
- 4 cups cold milk
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven according to the cake mix instructions. Prepare and bake the yellow cake in a 9×13-inch pan as directed on the box.
- Allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the cake, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- In a bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and slightly thickened. Pour the pudding over the cake, spreading it into the holes and across the top evenly.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour to allow the pudding to set.
- To make the ganache, heat heavy cream in a small saucepan until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour over the chocolate chips in a heat-safe bowl. Let sit for 2–3 minutes, then stir until smooth.
- Pour ganache over the chilled cake and spread evenly. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes or until set.
- Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
- Use a whisk or hand mixer to ensure a smooth pudding consistency.
- Let the ganache cool slightly before pouring if you prefer a thicker layer.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
