Vanilla Pudding Dump Cake
Four ingredients is all it takes to make this easy vanilla pudding dump cake! It's a classic recipe that helps you satisfy your sweet tooth without a lot of effort.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3.4 ounce instant vanilla pudding mix
- 13.25 ounce French vanilla cake mix
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
- 1 1/2 cups milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and spray a 13x9" cake pan with nonstick spray (or grease the pan with butter). Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine instant pudding mix, cake mix, and 1 cup of the chocolate chips. Whisk to combine.
- Add the milk, stirring well to incorporate into a thick batter.
- Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the top of the batter with the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips.
- Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Serve warm for a cake-like texture with melty chocolate chips, or allow to cool completely if preferred.
Notes
- You can omit the chocolate chips if desired, or add a different flavor of baking chips, such as butterscotch or peanut butter. You can also add chopped nuts instead.
- Some people prefer to skip adding the chocolate chips to the batter, and instead sprinkle them over the freshly baked cake when it's hot out of the oven. The heat will melt the chocolate chips, and you can use a spatula to spread the chocolate over the top of the cake like a frosting.
- If you can't find French vanilla cake mix, a regular yellow cake mix will work fine.
- This cake can be served warm or cooled.
- Leftover cake can be covered and stored at room temperature for up to 3-5 days.
