This rich chocolate pudding cake is moist, chocolatey, and topped with fun decorations like sprinkles, caramel, or coconut. Made with pudding and chocolate chips, it creates a soft dessert cake perfect for birthdays, parties, and family baking days.

Ingredients

2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups flour
1/2 cup prepared chocolate pudding
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup chocolate chips or chocolate morsels
Optional decorations: honey, caramel, sprinkles, coconut flakes, or chocolate syrup

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar until the mixture becomes slightly thickened and creamy.

Add the vanilla extract and baking powder and mix for about 1 minute.

Slowly pour in the milk and vegetable oil while mixing continuously. Continue mixing for about 3 minutes until smooth.

Add the chocolate pudding and chocolate chips and stir until blended.

Add the cocoa powder and flour. Mix slowly at first, then beat for about 3 minutes until the batter is smooth and evenly combined.

Grease a bundt pan, tube pan, or cheesecake-style pan and pour in the batter evenly.

Bake until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 30 to 40 minutes depending on pan size.

Allow the cake to cool for 5 to 7 minutes before removing from the pan. Decorate with caramel, honey, sprinkles, coconut, or chocolate drizzle before serving.

Yield: About 10 to 12 servings.
