How to Make Divine Chocolate Dream Dessert

  1. Prepare and bake a 13x9 inch chocolate cake from your favorite boxed mix, following package directions.
  2. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
  3. Once cooled, remove the cake from the pan and place it on a wire rack.

  5. Spread the prepared pudding evenly into the bottom of a 13x9 inch baking dish.
