Description

A delicious and moist red velvet cake topped with chocolate pudding and whipped cream frosting.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15 oz) red velvet cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 box (3 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk (for pudding)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and buttermilk; mix until smooth.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Once baked, allow the cake to cool slightly and poke holes all over using a wooden spoon handle.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together chocolate pudding mix with milk until thickened, then pour over the poked cake.
  6. Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form; add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Spread over the cooled cake along with dollops of cream cheese frosting.

Notes

  • Ensure the cake is completely cooled before adding the pudding and frosting.
  • This cake can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days.
