Ingredients
- 1 box German chocolate cake mix or chocolate cake mix
- 1 box 3.4 oz / 96 g instant chocolate pudding mix (dry)
- 2 cups milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Optional Add-Ins
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk for extra gooey texture
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the bottom of the dish.
- Sprinkle the dry instant pudding mix evenly on top of the cake mix.
- Slowly pour the milk over the dry ingredients. Do not stir.
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the surface.
- Sprinkle the shredded coconut and chopped pecans evenly over the top.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is soft but not liquid.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Do not stir the layers—this is essential for the dump cake texture.
- The cake will be soft and gooey in the center; it sets more as it cools.
- For extra richness, drizzle sweetened condensed milk over the milk layer before baking.
- Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
