Ingredients
  

  • 4 Pic Eggs, Large, Room temperature
  • 1 cup Whole milk, Room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Butter, Melted, Unsalted
  • 2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 container Vanilla snack pack pudding, 3.25 oz
  • 1 Yellow cake mix

Filling

  • 1 cup Homemade vanilla pudding

Topping

  • 1 cup Chocolate ganache, Use 1:1 ratio (1 cup chocolate chips and 1 cup heavy cream)

Instructions
 

  • Start by placing eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Mix the ingredients until they are well combined.
  • Next, add the vanilla pudding to the mixture and continue to mix until it becomes smooth.
  • Add the cake mix to the bowl and mix until all the ingredients are just combined.
  • Grease and flour two round cake pans with dimensions of 8×2. Pour the batter evenly into the two pans.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and bake the cakes for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. While the cakes are baking and cooling, prepare the vanilla pudding and ganache. Allow them to cool and thicken.
  • To assemble the cake, trim the edges and domes of each cake, if desired. Place one cake on the cake stand and use a spatula to spread the vanilla pudding on top.
  • Place the second cake on top of the pudding layer. Pour the ganache over the top of the cake and spread it with a spatula, allowing it to drip slightly along the sides of the cake.
  • Finally, it's time to enjoy your delicious and decadent cake!
