Ingredients
For the cake:
- 1 box of yellow cake mix
- 1 cup of milk
- 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
For the filling:
- 1 box of instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups of milk
For the frosting:
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cake
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease two 8-inch round cake pans with cooking spray and line them with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, milk, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat the mixture with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until it's smooth and well blended.
Divide the batter equally between the two cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 2: Make the Filling
In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and 2 cups of milk until it's smooth and has thickened. Set it aside.
Step 3: Assemble the Cake
Once the cakes have cooled completely, place one layer on a cake stand or plate. Spread the vanilla pudding filling over the top of the cake evenly. Place the second layer of cake on top of the filling.
Step 4: Prepare the Frosting
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to steam. Remove it from the heat and add the chocolate chips. Whisk the mixture until the chocolate has melted and the frosting is smooth.
Step 5: Frost the Cake
Pour the chocolate frosting over the top of the cake and allow it to drip down the sides. Use a spatula to spread the frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake.
