How to Make Fudgy Chocolate Dessert

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, oil, and water. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  3. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  4. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  5. Once cooled, frost the cake with your favorite chocolate frosting or ganache. (See tips for frosting ideas!)
  6. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set and the cake to chill. This enhances the fudgy texture!
  7. Slice and serve this intensely chocolatey dessert. Enjoy!
