Prepare the Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat until well blended and smooth.

Make the Chocolate Pudding:

- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble. This usually takes about 5 minutes.

Assemble the Cake:
