How to make Chocolate S’mores Pudding Cake Recipe?
- Prepare Time: 2 hours
- Cook Time: 50 min
- Total Time: 2 hours, 10 min
- Makes 12 Servings.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of Pudding (Chocolate, Vanilla, and S’mores) Crumbs
- 1 cup of chopped nuts (optional)
- 3/4 cup of milk chocolate chips (also works with milk chocolate chunks, or cooking chocolate) (not to be used for the s’mores stage).
- 3/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- 1 1/2 cups of mini marshmallows.
Instructions:
Step 1. Using the cake mix, mix in the pudding mixes, baking powder, and baking soda.
Step 2. Add in the chips and nuts if you use them (step 1), and stir well.
Step 3. Pour the batter into a lightly greased 9 x 13 pan or a large cake pan with high sides and bake at 325˚ F for 45 – 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes clean.
Step 4. For the s’mores layer, place a layer of crumbs in the bottom of a pan.
Step 5. Then add another layer of crumbs, followed by a layer of marshmallows.
Step 6. Pour 1/2 cup of chocolate fudge sauce and set aside while you spread the remaining sauce on top and sides of the cake pan; then use the rest for serving and messy messes! Serve with more dressing if needed.
Precautions For Recipes:
- Check your oven temperature. In forced-air ovens, you may have to reduce the baking time by as much as 15 minutes.
- Don’t over-mix your cake batters – it makes for a tough cake.
- If you’re using a glass or dark pan and the cake appears to be browning too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil after the first 20 minutes of baking. If your oven tends to run hot, adjust the baking time accordingly.
- You can also use two pans and divide your batter between them.
- Don’t keep the uneaten cake in the fridge once you add the icing – leave it out to come to room temp, or it will be too crumbly to eat.
- If you think your cake is browning too slowly, remove it from the oven and cool slightly before cutting it with a sharp knife, and then return it to the stove while icing the top of the cake.
