Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 (3.9 oz) package instant chocolate pudding mix
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
½ cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
1 cup creamy chocolate frosting (store-bought or homemade)
Chocolate shavings or sprinkles, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10-inch bundt pan thoroughly with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking. It’s important to coat every nook and cranny of the pan.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and the instant chocolate pudding mix until well combined.
Add the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat the mixture with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes, until smooth and well blended.
Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this is necessary for a moist cake.
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, frost the bundt cake with the creamy chocolate frosting. Decorate with chocolate shavings or sprinkles, if desired.
