I didn't see the directions about making the pudding and then adding to the cake batter with the eggs. I had added the dry pudding to the cake mix and proceeded to follow the cake mix instructions and added the chocolate chips. It was a very thick batter, but it did rise. Everyone who tasted it loved it.

I'll start by saying this cake tastes quite good, especially refrigerated with a cream cheese icing. That said, there is something very wrong with this recipe. If you try it and have problems, you're not imagining it. Either ingredients are missing, or directions are not specific enough, because as-written, the end-result will be a cake pan full of hot, liquidy goo. If you cook it 15-20 minutes longer, it eventually becomes semi-solid and edible, but caves in drastically as soon as it's removed from the oven and has a very odd texture. If you continue cooking it, expecting it to become a solid cake-like object, you will be left with nothing but a burned gooey mess. It's very strange! I recommend either "Too Much Chocolate Cake", submitted by Denise or "Chocolate Cavity Maker Cake" submitted by Caitlin Koch instead of this flawed recipe. They're the same concept, mostly the same ingredients, but result in a far better cake.

This cake did not turn out for me! I followed the directions, but wonder if better directions would have helped. It smelled wonderful baking and looked fabulous until I took it out of the oven. The cake ended up being about 1/3 its original size and tasted like compressed pudding. Although everyone tried it,no one in the family would eat it so it got tossed.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS CAKE, and so does everyone I make it for. It's great as cup-cakes, and when you put whipped topping on it and then some more chocolate chips, it is amazing!

I found this recipe very strange. The cake took at least 15 minutes longer to cook than the recipe stated. It was well risen and lovely when taken out of the oven, but a few minutes later had compressed (not fallen, as it was the whole cake, not just the center) to half it's original size. The taste was mediocre--not great, not horrible. The texture was downright strange---my husband said it was like chocolate tofu---it was very much like some kind of semi-solid pudding and not very much like cake. I would not make this recipe again, and I'll be surprised if it all gets eaten, although 12 year old grand-daughter thought it was all right.

This was a real easy recipe, but it cake out twice too thick and did not rise like a cake. My guests at one party didnt eat it, and another thought it was fudge. I mixed the pudding with the milk and slowly added it to cake mix already in blender with eggs, didnt work too well. Maybe add less pudding and share it with the kids, and the cake will rise and be a little lighter.

This recipe did not work out for me. I didn't know what I was to do with the pudding part - leave it liquidy or continue and beat it, then add it to the cake? I left it liquidy, and it was a complete disaster. Maybe better directions would have helped.

I made this for my daughter's seventh birthday party. Everyone LOVED it! Turned out better than I expected. I changed it a little so that it was an 8 inch double round cake.

I tried this recipe using a bundt pan. It was a total flop..or maybe that was the way it was supposed to be? But it was like eating pudding and cake. I wasn't pleased with the results.
