Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

Prepare the cake mix according to the instructions on the package. Combine the cake mix with water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until well combined and smooth.

Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely in the pan. It’s essential to let it cool before proceeding to the next step.

While the cake is cooling, prepare the topping. In a mixing bowl, combine the instant chocolate pudding mix with milk until thickened.
-
Fold in the Cool Whip gently until fully incorporated. This creamy topping adds a delightful touch to the cake.
-
Spread the pudding and Cool Whip mixture evenly over the cooled cake. Ensure that the cake is completely chilled before serving for the best texture and flavor.
