Ingredients

1 box Devil's Food cake mix + eggs oil and water to prepare according to package instructions
4 cups milk
2 3.4 ounce boxes of chocolate pudding
2 cups heavy whipping cream prepared OR 1 -16 ounce container of non-dairy whipped topping
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips for topping (or you could do chocolate curls)

Instructions

Prepare cake according to package instructions in a 9x13 baking dish. Bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
While cake is baking, prepare the two boxes of chocolate pudding with the four cups of milk. Place in fridge until ready to use.
When cake has cooled a few minutes, with the handle of a wooden spoon (or something similar in size) make poke holes all over the cake, poking all of the way down to the bottom of the pan.
Pour the pudding mixture over the warm cake, using the back of a spoon to spread the pudding over the top, making sure it gets down in the holes. Place cake in the refrigerator to completely cool.
Spread prepared whipped cream or non-dairy topping over the top off pudding, sprinkle with chocolate chips.
Refrigerate until ready to serve, and keep in the refrigerator.
