Cake:
1 box Betty Crocker SuperMoist chocolate fudge cake mix
1 1/4 cups water
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
3 eggs
Filling:
1 box (3.9 oz) chocolate instant pudding & pie filling mix
2 cups milk
Topping:
whipped topping
optional: chocolate shavings
DIRECTIONS:
1: Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom of 13×9-inch pan with cooking spray.
2: In large bowl, beat Cake ingredients with electric mixer on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour into pan.
3: Bake 28 to 33 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on cooling rack 5 minutes. With handle of wooden spoon (1/2 inch in diameter), poke holes almost to bottom every 1/2 inch, wiping spoon handle occasionally with paper towel to reduce sticking.
4: In medium bowl, beat Filling ingredients with whisk about 2 minutes or until starting to thicken. Pour over cake; spread evenly over surface, working back and forth to fill holes. (Some filling will remain on top of cake.) Refrigerate about 2 hours or until chilled.
5: When ready to serve, drop whipped topping by spoonfuls over cake; spread evenly. Sprinkle with chocolate shavings if desired. Cut into 5 rows by 3 rows. Store loosely covered in refrigerator.
Darlene’s Tips: For easy chocolate shavings, use a potato peeler on a chocolate bar! Or you can decorate with chocolate sprinkles or chocolate morsels. Try adding chocolate syrup to your whipped topping and mix! It changes the texture a bit and takes the air out, but it’s super delish and is totally appropriate for chocolate lovers!
