Ingredients
1 box yellow cake mix (plus ingredients listed on package)
2 (3.4 oz) boxes instant vanilla pudding
4 cups whole milk
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 ½ cups heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Prepare and bake the yellow cake according to package directions.
Allow the cake to cool completely.
Once cooled, use the end of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the cake.
In a large bowl, whisk together instant pudding, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Immediately pour the pudding mixture over the cake, spreading evenly to fill the holes.
Refrigerate the cake for 1 hour to set.
Chocolate Ganache:
8. Place chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.
9. Heat heavy cream on the stovetop (or microwave) until just simmering.
10. Pour hot cream over chocolate chips and let sit for 5 minutes.
11. Stir until smooth and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
Assembly:
12. Pour ganache over chilled cake and spread evenly to edges.
13. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
Make sure the cake is completely cool before adding pudding.
Poking deep holes helps the pudding soak evenly into the cake.
Chill time is essential for the best texture and flavor.
You can use dark chocolate for a richer ganache.
