Wow! I made 2 cakes tonight. I made the first one just like the recipes says. Very easy and very tasty. The second one, I used spice cake mix, instant french vanilla pudding and cinnamon chips. Oh, what a scrumptious combination. Thank you.

I made this during the summer, when homeade ice cream is being made. Vanilla ice cream really takes the overpowering richness out, and makes my mouth very happy! :)

Oh My! THIS IS GOOD! Easy also! I used instant pudding (2 small pkgs) & the rest of the recipe as written. I will be trying differant mixes, puddings & flavors of chips in the future! :-)

If you're looking for something REALLY quick and easy to satisfy a chocolate craving- this is it. I follwed the recipe as listed (used Duncan Hines Devils food cake mix and non-instant chocolate pudding). I did however add 1/2 cup chopped pecans in the mix just because I love nuts in brownies, which this cake resembles. Next time I may put 1/2 the chocolate chips in the batter misx, and 1/2 on top just to spread the chocolate love throughout the cake more. It is very rich and I HAD to have milk with it to really make it. It would be great too served warm with a scoop of ice cream or fresh whipped cream. I will make again when I want chocolate cake, but not a lot of fussy mixing and baking.

I needed a snack for kiddos today and did an ingredient search, this recipe came up. However I did not have chocolate anything (very depresing, I know!) I did however have a white cake mix and lemon pudding! I didn't have any chips either so just made it without and drizzled a little lemon frosting glaze on top. The kids loved it!

It could be because of the brand of cake mix I used (duncan hines, I think) but I did not care for this. Even my teenage boys said it just isn't normal. The cake turned out overly chewy and without enough chocolate flavor. The texture was just downright weird. Nope, don't do it.

What do you do when you realize you have to make a birthday cake for a work party the next day and you've been cleaning all day and have no energy to go to the store? You raid your pantry and you make this cake! So good, so easy, and did I mention it was good?? Followed it exactly and bam - I had a cake that made my co-workers drool AND ask for the recipe. Totally awesome heated up just a bit with some ice cream. Thanks!

Try using peanut butter morsels instead of semi sweet chocolate chips - fabulous! I think I may have let the pudding get a little to thick before adding the cake mix. Will watch more closely for next time and that will be soon.
