Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box yellow butter recipe cake mix
- 2 small boxes French Vanilla instant pudding
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 8 oz (226 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 12 oz (340 g) chopped chocolate bar
- 1 tub premade chocolate frosting
- Ingredients required by cake mix box
- Ingredients required by pudding mix box
Instructions
- Cake Preparation: Activate the oven and meticulously craft the yellow butter cake mix according to package specifications, utilizing a 9×13 inch pan. Ensure uniform baking with a radiant golden-brown exterior.
- Pudding Integration: Fabricate the vanilla pudding per package guidelines, maintaining an ideal creamy consistency. While the cake remains warm, systematically perforate the surface with a wooden spoon handle, creating strategic pathways for pudding absorption.
- Pudding Infusion: Delicately pour the prepared pudding into the cake’s perforations, allowing deep penetration. Distribute the remaining pudding across the entire cake surface, creating a luscious, saturated layer.
- Preliminary Chilling: Refrigerate the pudding-infused cake for 1.5 to 2 hours, enabling complete pudding stabilization and flavor melding.
- Chocolate Topping Creation: Select between pre-made chocolate frosting or artisanal ganache. For store-bought frosting, gently microwave in brief intervals, stirring to achieve a fluid consistency. Alternatively, craft homemade ganache by melting chocolate chips with heavy whipping cream, whisking until achieving a luxurious, silky texture.
- Topping Application: Carefully drape the chosen chocolate topping over the chilled pudding layer, ensuring comprehensive and uniform coverage.
- Final Chilling: Return the cake to the refrigerator, allowing a minimum of 4 hours or preferably overnight for complete layer integration and topping solidification.
Notes
- Cake Consistency Check: Ensure the yellow butter cake is baked evenly, with a golden-brown surface to provide the perfect base for the pudding and ganache layers.
- Pudding Perfection: Create systematic holes across the warm cake to allow maximum pudding absorption, ensuring a rich, creamy texture throughout each slice.
- Ganache Genius: When making homemade ganache, heat chocolate and cream carefully to prevent burning, whisking until achieving a silky smooth consistency.
- Chill and Settle: Allow the cake to rest in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight, enabling the layers to meld and develop a harmonious, decadent flavor profile.
