Ingredients

  

• 1 box chocolate cake mix
• 2 packages 3.9 oz. each instant chocolate pudding mix
• 4 cups milk
• Whipped cream or Cool Whip optional

Instructions

 

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the perfect temperature for baking the cake.
• In a mixing bowl, prepare the cake mix as instructed on the box. Combine the mix with the required ingredients, such as eggs and oil. Mix well until you have a smooth batter.
• Take a greased 9×13 inch baking dish and pour the cake batter into it. Spread it evenly, ensuring a consistent thickness throughout.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk until smooth. This luscious mixture will create the ooey-gooey center of your lava cake.
• Gently pour the pudding mixture over the cake batter in the baking dish. Don’t worry if it sinks a bit—it will create a delightful surprise in every bite!
• Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. To check if the cake is done, insert a toothpick into the cake. If it comes out clean, your cake is perfectly baked.
• Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes. This allows the flavors to settle and the cake to firm up slightly.
• Serve the chocolate lava cake warm for the ultimate indulgence. If desired, top it off with a generous dollop of whipped cream or Cool Whip. The combination of warm cake, melting center, and creamy topping is simply divine!

Notes

• For an extra chocolatey delight, you can add some chocolate chips or chopped chocolate to the batter before baking.

• Experiment with different pudding flavors like caramel, vanilla, or even mint for a unique twist.

• Serve the cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a contrasting cold and warm sensation.

• Leftover cake can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Just reheat it in the microwave for a few seconds before enjoying again.
