My 4-ingredient chocolate dump cake recipe with cake mix and instant pudding is easy and delicious. By pouring the ingredients directly into a 9×13 baking dish and mixing them there, you can create a chocolate sheet cake that’s not only perfect for a beginner cook serving a crowd but also ideal if you don’t want to clean a lot of dishes. Although this dump cake would be fine with just 4 ingredients, adding a pinch of table salt, a teaspoon of instant coffee, and a bag of chocolate chips really takes it to the next level.
Like I said, this chocolate dump cake recipe is easy. The only thing you have to keep in mind is not curdling the milk by mixing it with hot butter. That’s why I recommend melting the butter, pouring it into the casserole dish, and then sprinkling in the dry ingredients. As the instant pudding and cake mix absorb the melted butter, they’ll lower the temperature so that you can then safely add the milk.
Overall, I thought this chocolate dump cake was good. It was very moist inside and easy to make. Although some people might say this isn’t a dump cake since you have to mix the ingredients to form a batter, the fact that you only have to dirty one dish is enough reason for some people to make this.
I also liked that the dump cake had a deep chocolate flavor. With chocolate pudding, devil’s food cake mix, and chocolate chips, this dessert is sure to satisfy any chocoholic’s cravings.
My only complaint is that it wasn’t quite as rich as I was expecting. Besides thinking about my chocolate cake with peanut butter cream cheese frosting recipe that is out of this world, I felt that this dump cake wasn’t as fudgy as I was expecting: I think it might have been the lack of eggs, but I’m not sure–something just felt a bit “missing.”
Overall, for a 4-ingredient chocolate dump cake recipe, this was great. It was chocolatey, and went great with vanilla ice cream. It’s perfect for beginner cooks, crowds, and people who don’t want to clean. If you need a last minute dessert for Valentine’s Day–or any day–give this a try.🍫🍰☕️🍨🍒❤️

Just use salted butter in the recipe and then you don’t have to go back and add more salt later on just eliminate as many steps as possible and for dump cakes you’re not supposed to mix them up after you layer everything in the pan😢and i would use 2 teaspoons of espresso powder instead of instant coffee or you can add just 1/4 cup of extra strong, hot coffee

What about lactose free milk?😊
What a queen,just get it done.
What is it..???
Yum.
"Dump" cake … I don't think so.
The whole idea about a dump cake is not to stir. Still, looks good.
It's like a brownie
This looks delicious! It looks like it is a cross between cake and a brownie. Yum! Definitely going to try this one.
If it's a dump cake…can you not just leave it in layers?
This dump cake looks delicious ! I can hardly wait to make it. I do believe I have all the ingredients on hand, except the coffee. But I’m sure I can find me some 😁
Spatula 😂you need a spatula
After your comment on your personal opinion I guess I won’t make this cake. Crazy thing is dump cakes don’t have eggs usually and can be so good.
I have all the ingredients on hand! Getting it together to make this bad boy!🧡
Thankyou this recipe is wonderfully a blessing !
❤ yum…and I'm drooling at the mouth for your cake.😊
Can you use evaporated milk?
This could have been mix & done by the time you pressed around sprinkling all the ingred.only to stir it all up. Don't drag this out.
I will add the chocolate chips to the batter. Than once the cake is done cooking,and cooling.l will melt a can of chocolate frosting and pour over the finished cake 😋😋😋😋
I want to make this!
Just say a box of cake mix
Can I substitute whipping cream, or half and half, for the milk?
Looks delicious
Looks like part of the raw cake was eaten already!
Ok, first I’m going- don’t need the richness of those chips- now I want walnuts too!
Could you use water instead of milk? Lactose intolerance in my family.
