How to Make Voodoo Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, and 1 cup pecan halves. Mix until crumbly.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  5. Let the crust cool completely.
  6. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese, softened, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 1 cup Cool Whip until smooth and creamy.
  7. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
  8. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups milk and 1 (5.1 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix until smooth and thick.
  9. Pour the pudding mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer.
  10. Spread the remaining 1 cup Cool Whip over the pudding layer.
  11. Sprinkle with chopped pecans or chocolate sprinkles.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or preferably longer) before serving to allow flavors to meld and the cake to set.
