🛒 Ingredients:

For the Cake:

  • 🍞 1 box yellow cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box: eggs, oil, water)

For the Pudding Layer:

  • 🥛 2 packages (3.4 oz each) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 🥛 4 cups cold milk

For the Chocolate Ganache:

  • 🍫 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 🧈 1/2 cup heavy cream

🔥 Instructions:

1️⃣ Bake the Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare the yellow cake mix according to the package instructions and bake in the prepared dish.
  3. Let the cake cool for about 10 minutes.

2️⃣ Poke the Cake

  1. While the cake is still warm, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes evenly across the surface. Make sure the holes are deep enough to hold the pudding.

3️⃣ Prepare the Pudding Layer

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and cold milk until it thickens.
  2. Pour the pudding mixture over the cake, ensuring it fills the holes. Spread it evenly over the top of the cake.
  3. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour to allow the pudding to set.

4️⃣ Make the Chocolate Ganache

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the heavy cream for about 30 seconds, or until hot but not boiling.
  2. Add the chocolate chips to the cream and let sit for 2 minutes. Stir until smooth and glossy.

5️⃣ Top the Cake

  1. Pour the chocolate ganache over the chilled cake, spreading it evenly to cover the pudding layer.
  2. Refrigerate for another 2 hours (or overnight) to allow the ganache to set.

6️⃣ Serve & Enjoy

Slice and serve chilled for the ultimate Boston Cream Pie experience. Garnish with whipped cream if desired! 🍴
