Ingredients
•
cooking spray
•
1 (15 1/4 ounce) package yellow cake mix
•
1 cup water
•
3 large eggs
•
1/3 cup vegetable oil
•
2 (3 9/10 ounce) packages instant chocolate pudding mix
•
1 cup confectioners' sugar
•
4 cups milk
Directions
1
Gather all ingredients.
2
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
3
Beat cake mix, water, eggs, and oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer at low speed until moistened, about 30 seconds. Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes.
4
Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of cake comes out clean, 21 to 25 minutes.
6
Poke holes immediately into warm cake with the round handle of a wooden spoon. Holes should be at 1 inch intervals and extend down to the bottom of the baking dish.
7
Combine pudding mix with confectioners' sugar in a separate large bowl and gradually stir in milk. Beat with an electric mixer at low speed for 1 minute; do not overbeat.
8
Pour 1/2 of the pudding mixture immediately over warm cake and into holes.
9
Let remaining pudding thicken slightly at room temperature, then spoon over the top and spread to cover. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
