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!

OMG- This is the best and sooo easy. My son found this recipe and asked to make it- I'm so glad I did. We used Devil's Food cake mix and it turned out great. This one is a keeper!

Boys & Girls this cake deserves a much classier name! My family went nuts over it. I used vanilla pudding with a Duncan Hines Chocolate Fudge cake mix. This is THE easiest cake that I have ever made, and I have made plenty in the last 45 years. We're calling it the "Illegal To Eat Cake" (surely it will be against the law to enjoy anything that much in the future)Thank you so much for this recipe.

I served this up on a whim at Super Bowl. Needed something sweet to serve and found this recipe. It was a huge hit served warm from the oven.

YUM! My husband called and sounded like he'd had a rough day so I was looking for something to whip up in a hurry to cheer him up. It worked!! I used Duncan Hines Devils Food Mix as suggested by another reviewer. I also used Nestles Mini Morsels, which I think might have worked better than regular sized chips. Alos, I thought this would be better served warm, but as it turns out, it is best after it is refrigerated and the chocolate hardens on top. WOW. It is a really dense moist cake, almost like a brownie, but better. And very easy! The only thing I gave it 4 stars for is because it is boring LOOKING. I only give 5 stars to recipes that taste and present well.

I am someone who absolutely loves chocolate, but I was not impressed with this one. Will not make it again.

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!
