Ingredients
For the cake:
1 box (15.25 ounces) chocolate cake mix
1 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
For the pudding layer:
2 packages (3.4 ounces each) instant vanilla pudding mix
3 cups cold milk
For the ganache layer:
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and lightly flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, water, oil, and eggs. Beat on low speed for 1 minute, then increase to medium speed and beat for 2 minutes.
3. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and milk until combined and thickened.
5. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the cooled cake. Pour the pudding over the cake, making sure it gets into all the holes. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
6. In a small saucepan, heat the chocolate chips, cream, and butter over low heat until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
7. Spread the ganache over the chilled pudding layer. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
