I thought this was just - ok. Husband is the chocolate freak and he liked it real well. However when a small scoop of Spumoni was had with the cake - WOW! it really made it for me. I highly reccomend Spumoni icecream with this.

Nothing spectacular for my group. I followed the instructions exactly. The cake was sort of rubbery. As the cake cooled the crunch of the chocolate chips just overpowered everything.

I don't know what happened. The cake turned out very dry and the chips didn't melt. I'm giving it 2 stars because my husband and sons actually finished it. I'm not one to turn down either chocolate or cake, so you know there's a problem.

This cake was soooo goood! I used a yellow cake mix and vanilla pudding. I put a mixture of walnuts, butterscotch, and chocolate chips. I think you could have endless combinations with this recipe idea. My family is not big on chocolate, the reason I tried the other combo.

MmmMmm.. moist fudgy chocolate yumminess. I found this recipe when I was looking for something to bake without eggs.. (I didn't have any and the shops were closed). I used vanilla pudding instead of chocolate and since I didn't have any chocolate chips I left those out. It didn't matter though.. because this cake is delicious. We had it with warm custard poured over the top.. It was chocolate/custard heaven.

Karen A certainly knows cakes. Took this to a pot luck and they gobbled it up. Now I am making one to take in to work. Both have been chocolate. Yummy! This is a very good cake and easy to make. The only things I changed was to add some chocolate chips to the cake/pudding mix (to give it an all around more chocolaty taste) and to bake it for about 30 minutes (my oven is a little strange). Thanks!

very good cake, chocolatey and very quick to throw together. it stays moist and nice after days! I put big chunks of chocolate on top and they didn't melt thoroughly: my kids fought about whose slice had the big piece of choc...

Good staple cake to have in your pantry -- also the leftovers froze wonderfully, holding its moist texture. I used instant jello without any issues and added ~2 Tbs vanilla extract as well as ~4 Tbs Bailey's liquor to address other's comments of blandness. I would add even a bit more of each next time. I also mixed the chocolate chips into the batter, reserving a just a handful for the top. No need to frost, just serve warm with ice cream.

I did something wrong... it didn't bake properly (way too wet!) and the chocolate chips burned. guess I'll try again sometime.

This was delicious! I didn't have non-instant pudding either, so I used the large package of Jell-O Mint Chocolate Chip instant pudding mix, and only used one cup of chocolate chips and it turned out great!! I ate it warm with a little Cool Whip on top. Heavenly! It's a keeper!

Texture was really unappealing (kind of lumpy and doughy seeming) and there wasn't a lot of taste to it considering all the chocolate that went into it. Two of my kids refused to eat it at all after two bites, and my hubby politely ate one piece. We won't be making it again which is unfortunate because it was so quick and easy to put together.

Have givne it out to 3 people so far nothing but raves!!!!! THANKS FOR THE RECIPE.

really great recipe and so versatile! not a chocolate lover? try this with yellow cake mix, lemon or vanilla pudding mix and chopped canned fruit over the top. also- i used sugar free pudding mix and replaced half the milk with water to make it more figure friendly and it turned out great! if your cake mix come with pudding in the mix (like the betty crocker kind) don't worry- it makes the end result even more like one big brownie!

BEST CHOCOLATE CAKE I'VE EVER HAD! I have no idea what the original poster is talking about with non-instant chocolate pudding so I just used instant. I made it for a bake sale and ti was gone within 10 minutes and they kept asking if I had more. Definitely going to make again and again!
