This cake is easy and delicious. I took it to work and it was devoured! The batter is very thick and next time I will make sure to smooth it down in the cake pan. I thought it would flatten out by itself but it didn't. I will definately make this again and I am going to experiment with different cakes and puddings.

This cake should be re named to "HO HO or Ding Dong cake"! Eat it after it's cooled and you would think you were eating a hostess treat. Next time I make it I will add some kind of marshmallow mixture to the cake after cooled. I love the idea of using different mixes. It's a great cake for us (even if it's a little costly) because of my daughters egg allergy. She was so excited to eat cake!

My famiy would have enjoyed this a lot more had it not been for all those chocolate chips, and I added only 1 cup, not the 2. The cake itself was very good after scraping off the choc chips. I'll make it again but without the choc chips. Great with ice-cream and whipped cream!

This was ok at best. I completely agree with the review that it was bland, and needed an icing instead of just chocolate chips on top. I 100% agree that with the expense of the mix, pudding, and chocolate chips, it wasn't worth it. I'll never make it again.

I didn't have chocolate pudding or chocolate cake mix, so I used a white cake with lemon pudding and then put a lemon glaze over the top. It was AWESOME!!!!!!! We loved it and can't wait to try the real recipe with the chocolate. Definitely needs vanilla ice cream to go with it.

I have made this recipe for years. Got it from my mother, who got it from her sister, who got it from her mother-in-law. It's definitely been passed around. I have found that the finished quality is directly related to the kind of cake mix used. If I use the cheapest cake mix I can find ... it tastes that way. However, if I use a good quality cake mix such as Duncan Hines Devil's Food cake mix ... it is oh so yummy. Also, it cannot be a mix with pudding already in the mix. Those who have been unhappy with this cake, try it again with a good quality cake mix (if you didn't already) and see if you like it better. I give this recipe 4 stars, only because it can be messed up. A truly 5 star recipe is one that turns out great so matter what the cook does.

Well - I didn't have the right flavors of cake mix/pudding/chips - but guess what?? - I used "Cherry Chip" cake mix, Hershey's Rasberry chips, and Vanilla pudding mix (non-instant)...and it came out GRRRRRRREAT!!!! Very rich and dense (almost like a bread pudding texture) - great hot with vanilla ice cream! (p.s. - I used Whole Milk!)

This was delicious, very moist and chocolate-y! Definitely for chocolate lovers. I tried one reviewer's idea of using half white chocolate/ half semi-sweet chips, and my white chips almost burnt! Next time, I'll stick to the recipe.

My family is snobby about chocolate cakes, and we think it needs to take hours to come up with anything good - so I'm not telling them about this recipe! it's such a heavy dose of chocolate - moist and rich, just what I want in a chocolate cake. The chocolate chips on top are perfect for copping out of frosting it, but if you want to avoid chocolate overkill I think a non-chocolate icing would go nicely... Raspberry would really go well with this... Or you could maybe get, say, peanut butter chips instead? But if you're in a pinch and need a dessert fast, have at this one! The people you feed will tell you you're evil for tempting them with it.

Very easy and chocolaty. I would make it again and although I don't like desserts, the flavor was good. My only concern was the fact that the top came out somewhat chewy, kind of a brownie consistency. Otherwise, a good recipe.

This cake is so good and very easy. All I had was instant pudding and it still worked. Would probably taste better with non-instant, but my kids and husband ate it all!
