You know how some diners have the biggest cakes you've ever seen displayed in beautifully-lit cases so your taste buds start working from the minute you walk in? That's what it inspired us to make this tasty Triple Chocolate Cake!

What You'll Need

1 (18 -ounce) package chocolate cake mix
1 (4-serving) package instant chocolate pudding and pie filling
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1 cup water
1 cup heavy cream
1 (16-ounce) container milk chocolate frosting

What to Do

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat two 9-inch round cake pans with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, oil, eggs, and water; mix well and pour into cake pans. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, beat heavy cream 8 to 10 minutes, or until very thick. Add half of frosting; mix well and chill filling until cake is cooled.
Place one cake layer on a serving platter; spread with filling. Place second cake layer over first and frost top and sides with remaining frosting. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.

Would this work in a 9x13 pan? If so, how long would I bake it for? Thank you.

Yes, it would work in a 9 x 13 pan. Bake for 30 40 minutes or until center is dry. You would also have to combine all of the frosting with the whipped cream to make one topping, not two like the original recipe.

This cake is "over the top", don't hesitate to make it. What I did to kick it up a notch, I added 1/4 cup Kahula and reduced the 1 cup of water to 3/4 to maintain the 1 cup liquid needed to make this recipe richer. Don't hesitate to make this one, you won't be disappointed.
