Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Combine cake mix and dry pudding mix with eggs, vanilla, milk, canola oil and sour cream.

Beat on medium speed until well combined, about 2 minutes.

Pour batter into 9×13″ baking dish and bake for 20-22 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.

Allow to cool for 10 minutes.

While the cake is still warm, use the end of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the top of the cake being careful not to go all the way to the bottom.

Heat the hot fudge sauce in the microwave on full power for 30 seconds to thin it out; if you need more time, continue at 15 second increments until thin.

Pour the entire jar of hot fudge sauce over the cake and allow it to soak into the holes.

Let stand until completely cooled.

When the cake has cooled, prepare the pudding layer by mixing a package of instant chocolate fudge pudding with 2 cups of cold milk.

Immediately pour the pudding mixture over top of the cake and spread into an even layer.

Place cake in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a bowl combine the whipped topping and hot cocoa mix. Stir until combined.

Spread whipped topping over top of cake.

Sprinkle chocolate on top.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Perfect the Poke Technique 🍴
Use a fork or skewer to create evenly-spaced holes throughout the cooled cake before adding pudding, allowing maximum absorption of the creamy filling for intense chocolate flavor in every bite.
Temperature Control for Pudding 🌡️
Prepare the chocolate pudding filling slightly thicker than package directions by using less milk, preventing it from soaking through the cake too quickly and ensuring a distinct layer between cake and topping.
Balance Your Chocolate Ratios ⚖️
Add hot fudge sauce to your whipped topping in small increments and fold gently to create a marbled chocolate topping, rather than mixing completely, for visual appeal and layered chocolate intensity.
Chill Between Layers ❄️
Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes after poking and filling the pudding layer before adding the whipped topping, allowing flavors to meld and preventing layers from mixing together.
Enhance Cocoa Mix Flavor 🎁
Sift the hot cocoa mix into your cake batter with the dry ingredients to eliminate lumps and distribute chocolate flavor evenly, preventing bitter pockets and ensuring smooth, consistent chocolate taste throughout.
