Can you believe that I’ve had grand intentions of sharing this Chocolate Pudding Fudge Cake recipe with you for over a year?

It’s also become the birthday cake of choice in our house and nobody complains when we eat it three times in a two week period during our crazy birthday season.
Not only is this Chocolate Pudding Fudge Cake rich, decadent and delicious but it’s also incredibly easy. Like easy with a great big capital E.

My favorite way to dress this Chocolate Pudding Fudge Cake is by topping it with my Dark Chocolate Buttercream Frosting. What’s better than a chocolate cake other than a chocolate cake topped with a thick layer of chocolate frosting? If you said nothing, you’d be correct! This recipe is also the base for my Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cake, proof you can dress this cake up as over the top as you’d like but it’s just as delicious with a simple shower of powdered sugar as well. It’s completely versatile.
Looking for even more chocolate goodness? Look no further! I’m collaborating with a group of food bloggers to bring you Chocolate Week this week. We’re serving up luscious Chocolate Avocado Pudding, a refreshing Chocolate Cherry Milkshake, a decadent Triple Chocolate Cheesecake and delicious Double Chocolate Cupcakes. It’s so hard to choose which one to make first that you’ll absolutely have to make them all.
