1 box chocolate cake mix (15.25 oz) 1 box instant chocolate pudding mix (3.9 oz) 2 cups milk ½ cup melted butter 1½ cups semisweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish—no mixing bowls needed for this ultra-simple dessert.
In the dish, whisk pudding mix and milk until slightly thickened. This layer adds a creamy, fudgy texture as it bakes.
Evenly sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix over the pudding layer. Do not stir. Keep the layers intact for the best texture.
Pour melted butter evenly over the cake mix. Top with chocolate chips. The butter helps form a rich, crisp topping.
Bake for 40–45 minutes. Let cool slightly, then serve warm. This dump cake is gooey, chocolatey, and perfect with ice cream or whipped cream.
