Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1 yellow cake mix and ingredients listed on the package

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup cold milk
  • 3.4 ounce box instant vanilla pudding
  • cups whipped topping

For the Chocolate Glaze:

  • 1 ounce unsweetened baking chocolate squares
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF.
  • Prepare cake mix according to package directions.
  • Pour batter into a greased 10-inch bundt pan.
  • Bake cake according to package directions until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Allow cake to cool for 10 minutes before running a knife around the edge and flipping it onto a wire rack.
  • Prepare the filling in a large mixing bowl by beating milk and pudding mix together for 2 minutes.
  • Gently fold in whipped topping and let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Using a knife, slice the bundt cake into two layers.
  • Place bottom layer of cake on a serving plate. Spread filling over top of it.
  • Place top layer of cake on top.
  • Prepare chocolate glaze by microwaving baking chocolate square and butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until melted.  Stir often.
  • Add powdered sugar and milk.  Mix until smooth.
  • Drizzle chocolate glaze over top of cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
  • Refrigerate the cake for 2-4 hours to allow the custard and glaze to set.
  • Slice and serve.

Notes

  • Run your knife under hot water for a few seconds before slicing into the cake - it will slice easier! 
  • You can substitute the vanilla pudding with chocolate pudding. 
  • Refrigerate your cake for a few hours before eating so that the custard and glaze have time to sit.
