Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (15.25 oz) vanilla cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine vanilla cake mix, eggs, and milk according to package instructions. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- While the cake cools, whisk together instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until smooth; let sit for five minutes to thicken.
- Once the cake is completely cooled, poke holes across the surface using a wooden spoon handle. Pour the pudding over the holes, ensuring it seeps in. Refrigerate for at least one hour.
- For the chocolate ganache, heat heavy whipping cream until simmering and pour it over chocolate chips in a bowl. Stir until smooth and slightly cooled before pouring over the chilled pudding layer.
