Death by Chocolate Dump Cake

June 24, 2015 by Kristin 56 Comments

This past week, I was in the mood for something quick, easy, and full of chocolate yumminess! After dumping a few ingredients together, this cake was created and AMAZING! Incredibly moist, full of chocolate, and simple to make; this is a winner! Each of my kids had a small piece after dinner and went crazy over it. Yes, kids are bound to go crazy over just about any dessert, but they ALL really enjoyed this! My hubby and I add a small scoop of ice-cream to ours and thoroughly enjoyed this sweet treat! This recipe makes a full 9×13 baking pan, so its plenty big to bring to any gathering as well! Yum!

    I wonder what adding a can of cherry pie filling would do to the combination????? I love chocolate – cherry ANYTHING!!!!

    Hmmmm, I don’t know but that sounds AMAZING!!!! Good thinking!! Maybe reduce the liquid slightly? Or make it as is, I really am not sure haha!!

    Do you dont add eggs or oil or water like it calls for in the cake directions?

  6. Kristin

    June 25, 2015 at 8:53 pm

    Nope, just the milk. I was a little confused at first when I tried it, but I guarantee it will be a hit!! 🙂

    I make a cake like this. I also poke holes in it and pour in chocolate sundae topping then frost with cool whip and walnuts.

    I make a cake called chocolate covered cherry cake. 1 box choc cake mix, 1 can cherry pie filling, 1/3 cup Crisco oil, 2 eggs. Mix together, bake in 9×13 pan 25-30 min at 350. Cool and frost with a chocolate glaze. Do not beat cake with mixer, just stir with spoon.

  16. Kristin

    I made it last night!! It turned out really good! I used chocolate fudge cake mix, and chocolate fudge pudding, After it was done I melted fudge icing in microwave and drizzled over the cake!! The cake is soooo good!!

  18. Kristin

    September 3, 2015 at 2:24 pm

    Yea!! So glad you enjoyed this!! Great idea on melting fudge icing, YUM!!

    I have cook and serve pudding, can I put it in hot/warm?

  20. Kristin

    September 8, 2015 at 2:49 pm

    Let it cool a bit as I think it may affect the outcome of the cake if it goes in warm/hot 🙂

    being a peanut butter liver, I used peanut butter chips instead of chocolate. Made myself sick eating it!!

  22. Kristin

    October 24, 2015 at 8:56 am

    Ooooo great thinking on adding the peanut butter chips! Hope you are feeling better 😉

    This sounds like a great recipe for Christmas that the kids and adults would enjoy! Do you premix the pudding according to its directions, or do you just have the dry mix to the cake mixture?

  24. Kristin

    December 22, 2015 at 7:37 am

    Hi Ashley! This definitely is a great recipe for Christmas!! The pudding mix goes in dry, along with the cake mix. Hope you enjoy it!!

    Can you use 2% milk?

  26. Kristin

    January 5, 2016 at 2:48 pm

    Yep!! No problem at all!!

  27. Suman

    January 5, 2016 at 3:53 pm

    No eggs needed? Do we just mix the cake mix and not the additional ingredients that are usually used?

  28. Kristin

    January 5, 2016 at 7:35 pm

    Nope, no eggs needed, just the ingredients listed in this recipe…..not the ones listed on any of the packaging 🙂
    Enjoy!!

  29. Suman

    January 10, 2016 at 10:00 pm

    Are you supposed to make the pudding and add it or add the instant mix -I may have ruined the cake already 🙁

  30. Kristin

    January 17, 2016 at 8:30 am

    So sorry I just now saw this comment 🙁
    You just add the pudding mix to the cake, without following package directions. It should be a dry mix when poured into bowl 🙂
    Hope the cake turned out yummy!!

    This would be wonderful with a scoop of French Vanilla ice cream.

  32. Kristin

    January 24, 2016 at 2:26 pm

    Oh definitely!!!

  33. m.mgorman@rogers.com

    January 28, 2016 at 10:39 am

    would this be good served warm

  34. Kristin

    January 29, 2016 at 4:45 pm

    Definitely!! With a scoop of vanilla ice-cream!!

    There is a recipe on Pinterest for a Black Forest Chocolate Dump Cake that is amazing. It has chocolate, cherries & whipped cream for the person who wanted to add cherries.

  36. Kristin

    February 8, 2016 at 7:11 pm

    That sounds amazing!!! I am trying a chocolate raspberry variation this week, be on the lookout for it!!

    March 30, 2016 at 4:45 pm

    Do you think it would work with rice milk?

  38. Kristin

    March 31, 2016 at 6:43 am

    I’ve never used rice milk before, but I don’t see why that wouldn’t work!! Keep me posted and enjoy!!

    I need to make a bundt cake. How would the temp and time be modified for that so it cooks right? It sounds so good.

  40. Kristin

    July 17, 2016 at 2:43 pm

    Hmmm, good question! The temp would remain the same, as for the baking time, I would guess it would be about the same, but decrease it by about 5 minutes and watch it from there. Hope that helps and hope you enjoy it!!

    Made banana split dump cake.. tasty

  42. Kristin

    July 18, 2016 at 6:41 am

    Ooooo yummy! How did you make that? Sounds like something I need to try, hehe

    August 28, 2016 at 7:52 pm

    When you do cakes make sure you note their might be adjustments needed for high elevation! Went all over my oven I live at 7000 ft.

  44. Kristin

    August 29, 2016 at 12:47 pm

    Oh no! I am sorry about that, I will definitely keep that in mind going forward and add that! Thanks!

  45. nancy

    September 9, 2016 at 6:24 pm

    not sure what happened but this cake was as dry as sawdust. it didn’t pour out into pan the batter was thick. i did not overcook. very much a waste of money. i thought it had to be too easy… looked nothing like your photo

  46. Kristin

    September 13, 2016 at 5:33 am

    Oh no! That is such a bummer to hear! I’m not sure why it turned out that way, but I am sorry it wasn’t a success!

  47. Jean

    September 15, 2016 at 10:29 am

    Can you use a cake mix that already has pudding I. The mix?

  48. Kristin

    September 16, 2016 at 5:58 am

    Hmmmmm, good question. I would lean towards no unfortunately because the amount of pudding in the cake mix is different from the one in small package. Sorry!!

  49. DanaH57

    April 9, 2018 at 12:14 pm

    Saving this… I think I want to test it using the sugar-free cake mix and sugar-free pudding. Daddy, mom , and sister are all diabetic, if it works, I think they would enjoy!

  50. Kristin

    April 9, 2018 at 1:53 pm

    Yum!! Hope you enjoy!!

  51. robbyn

    October 7, 2018 at 12:48 pm

    can this be made in a couple of bread pans and frozen?

  52. Kristin

    October 7, 2018 at 1:01 pm

    Sure, I don’t see why that wouldn’t turn out great! Keep me posted if you do that and how it turns out!

    Part of the directions are confusing. Ingredients listed listed say 2 cups milk. Directions say mix all (including the 2 cups milk. Then further down says to add the milk????

  54. Kristin

    March 14, 2019 at 4:12 pm

    Wow, that is confusing! Sorry about that! Just corrected it!!

  55. Jana Pannill

    September 23, 2019 at 6:44 pm

    Does this need to be refrigerated?

  56. Kristin

    September 23, 2019 at 8:44 pm

    Nope, no need to refrigerate!
