Ingredients
Cake Mixture
- 1 box Devil’s Food Cake Mix (or any chocolate cake mix, 15.25 oz.)
- 1 box Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix (3.9 oz.)
- 2 cups Milk (any type)
- 1 tbsp Cocoa powder
Fruit Filling
- 1 can Raspberry Pie Filling (12-ounce)
Topping (Optional)
- Hot Fudge (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix batter: In a mixing bowl, stir together the cake mix, instant chocolate pudding mix, milk, and cocoa powder until the batter is smooth and thick, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
- Layer batter and filling: Spread half of the thick batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Then spoon the raspberry pie filling evenly over the batter layer, making sure it covers the cake base uniformly.
- Top with remaining batter: Gently spread the remaining cake batter over the raspberry filling layer, taking care to cover the fruit without mixing layers.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean with crumbs.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving. Optionally drizzle warm hot fudge over the top for a luscious finishing touch before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute the raspberry pie filling with other fruit fillings like cherry or blueberry if preferred.
- Use any type of milk (whole, skim, or dairy-free) depending on your dietary needs or taste.
- The hot fudge topping is optional but adds a rich flavor contrast.
- For a firmer pudding texture, chill the cake after baking before serving.
- Make sure not to overbake to keep the cake moist and tender.
