Cake and Filling

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cake Batter

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth. Gradually stir in the boiling water until well combined. The batter will be thin.

  3. 3

    Bake the Cakes

    Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Chocolate Pudding

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and 2 cups of whole milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Cake

    Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread the chocolate pudding evenly on top. Place the second layer on top of the pudding. If desired, top with whipped cream.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice and serve the cake. Enjoy your delicious chocolate indulgence!
