Chocolate Pudding Dump Cake

Tigriss — Tue, 07 Apr 2015 00:46:49 GMT

Someone else mentioned dump cakes, so I went through my cabinets and found a dark chocolate cake mix and a box of pudding. I Google chocolate cake mix dump cakes and found the below. I found it to call for chocolate pudding and all I had was vanilla. I used the vanilla instant pudding mix. I used the second blog recipe below, baked in a 9x9 Pyrex cake pan and baked for about 45-50 minutes. It turned out like a gooey centered cake, but not so sweet. I don't generally like cakes with icing and all that, but a plain cake is nice. This one was easy and quick.

Just the name ""dump"" cake sounds unappealing.

Then call it something else....chocolate pudding cake. Thanks, Tigriss. Quick and easy and chocolate!

Yeah, dump cake isn't a good name, but this one is a dump cake and it isn't since you do mix it then put it in the pan. It is more like a 4 ingredient cake that comes out like a fudgy brownie in the middle.

Nice to fix when you're in a fix! Sometimes we have to take something somewhere fast! This would probably stay moist. Easy enough to frost!

I had a craving, you know, those kinds of cravings. I had already made brownies last week and don't usually keep the stuff in the house or I will eat it. I dug and found those ingredients and I cut it into small squares for servings. I had it with ice cold milk. It is actually better than my boxed brownies and next time I'll use instant coffee in it for a coffee flavor. Coffee highlights chocolate flavors,so that will be nice.

Mmm...It looks really moist and yummy! It does look like a brownie, doesn't it? Thanks for posting the recipes tigriss, and for sharing. This is definitely something that I would like to make for us.

I noticed recipe called for 9X13 pan and you used 9X9/ You didn't cut back on ingredients. It was just thicker then> I think I like yours better than pic blog recipe. How thick was yours, about an inch>

I make the best pumpkin dumper! I haven't made it in 2 years, you reminded me how moist, gooey and wonderful these cakes are. The chocolate looks the best. I may try a dark chocolate cake!! The good thing is I can make it organic, as I have some Oetiker cake mixes stashed away from Thanksgiving I didn't use!

ShoeKitty....I did want a thicker cake, so I used the 9x9 Pyrex for it. It was about 1.75 to 2" thick. I like a thick brownie and this turned out to be like a nice, thick, rich, fudgy, brownie. I just had a square for breakfast with my black coffee. They go great together.

I have made the pumpkin gooey cake by Paula Deen and used other fruits and things in it especially blueberries when they are in season here.

The box said Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake. I don't like most cakes because they are too sweet and don't like sweet icings. I love pound cake with fruit and whipped cream and dark chocolate. I will make this again adding instant coffee to the milk as coffee highlights the chocolate flavor wonderfully! The batter is like a thick brownie batter consistency. You could easily ice it with the canned stuff or a chocolate cream cheese icing (a regular cream cheese icing recipe with cocoa powder added or even add Kahula or coffee to that to make the cake chocolate and the icing coffee), but I do like it just as it came out with the chocolate chips in it and some sprinkled on top.

You could do it with a strawberry cake mix, strawberries, and vanilla pudding. That would be fresh and great with ice cream. Actually they all would be great with ice cream since they are denser than most cakes. You could do it with any combo of cake mix, pudding, and/or fruit/chocolate/candies anything really! Oooo blueberry and white cake with vanilla pudding....oh the possibilities. I may have discovered a cake that I actually will like just as most people like cake and icing. My sister loves icing like a kid, the super sweet kind!

I am not too wild about chocolate. Do you think I could substitute vanilla cake and pudding? Whoops-question already answered. Thanks

Re: Chocolate Pudding Dump Cake

Tigriss — Tue, 07 Apr 2015 16:47:15 GMT

Yes to both NCasacade. You can also use fruit, so vanilla cake with vanilla pudding and peaches would be great, but you could also do a banana version with vanilla pudding and a spice cake for a banana bread type cake.

Cakes made by mixing together a box of cake mix and a box of pudding mix are an old staple.......and the cakes are moist and delicious! I've done this over the years with chocolate cake/chocolate pudding, yellow cake/vanilla pudding, lemon or yellow cake and lemon pudding.........and you can doubtless think of other delicious combos.

This isn't what I call a "dump cake", though. I am familiar with old dump cake recipes that usually involve mixing a box of cake mix and a can of fruit.

I have had one half of a box of fudge cake mix in my fridge since Christmas and about one fourth of a jar of peanut butter. So this past week-end I mixed up the cake per instructions (one-half) and then mixed peanut butter with a half cup or so of powdered sugar and swirled around into the cake mix already in the pan. Took about 20 minutes to bake and was very very good. It is amazing what you can come up with when you lay out all your mismatched/leftover ingredients.

I have always wanted to try a dump cake since I have had good luck with just dumping for casseroles. My problem is I really love pudding as pudding.

The peanut butter sounds awesome with chocolate cake. I'll add that to my list of things to try. I also love pudding as pudding, so that is why I had the pudding too!

When I mix mine up I put in three not four individual plastic containers and let sit for about a minute then put one Nilla wafer down the side of the container. Then about an hour before my dinner/dessert time I will take any other cookies or pieces of brownie/cake (all bite size) and put on the other sides of the container to soften up.

If I am really feeling worthy I will put on top of the pudding a couple of tablespoons of ice cream that melts down into it. I got that ideal from eating Outback's brownie ice-cream fudge dessert. My pudding and ice cream are all sugar free but not the add in baked goods. Enjoy!!!!

Thanks for the recipe! I will definitely be trying this!

ETA that both links from the OP look pretty similar, except in the first one the pudding was mixed with the milk and then the cake mix was stirred in.

Don't even mention a dump truck, huh?
