Ingredients

1 box chocolate cake mix, prepared according to package directions

1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix

2 cups cold milk

8 ounces cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

8 ounces whipped topping, thawed

1/2 cup chocolate syrup or melted chocolate

Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish (optional)

Instruction

Prepare and bake the chocolate cake according to the package instructions in a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Allow the cake to cool completely.

In a bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until thickened.

In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.

Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.

Fold half of the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture.

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled cake.

Carefully spread the chocolate pudding over the cream cheese layer.

Top with the remaining whipped topping, smoothing it evenly.

Drizzle the chocolate syrup over the whipped topping and use a butter knife to create decorative swirls.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
