Description

By using boxed cake mix and instant pudding, this Boston cream variation is super easy to make and is sure to be a hit at home or for a crowd.

Ingredients
  • 1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 eggs
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 4 cups milk
  • 2 (3.5 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Directions
  1. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch pan.
  2. 2. Beat cake mix, water, eggs, and oil in a large bowl with an electric mixer until combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  3. 3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool.
  4. 4. Poke holes all over the cake using the handle of a wooden spoon. Whisk milk and pudding mix together in a bowl until just starting to thicken. Pour over cake, spreading with spatula to fill the holes. Refrigerate to firm, about 1 hour.
  5. 5. Place chocolate chips in a glass bowl. Heat heavy whipping cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until bubbles form, about 3 minutes. Pour over the chocolate chips; whisk until smooth. Spread chocolate ganache over cake with a spatula.
