Ingredients

1 box of chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients called for on the box)
2 boxes of instant chocolate pudding mix (3.9 ounces each)
4 cups of cold milk
2 cups of heavy cream
3/4 cup of powdered sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Shaved chocolate and/or sprinkles for decorating (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Cake

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Prepare the cake mix according to the instructions on the box, then pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before poking holes in it.

Step 2: Poke the Cake

Once the cake has cooled, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the surface of the cake. Make sure to poke the holes all the way to the bottom of the cake.

Step 3: Make the Pudding

In a medium bowl, whisk together the two boxes of pudding mix and the cold milk. Pour the pudding over the top of the cake, making sure to fill all of the holes. Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours, or until the pudding has set.

Step 4: Make the Whipped Cream

In a large bowl, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to blend the ingredients together until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the cake.

Step 5: Decorate and Serve

If desired, top the cake with shaved chocolate or sprinkles. Cut the cake into slices and serve. Enjoy!
