Step-by-Step Instructions for Dirt Cake Recipe
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare the chocolate cake mix as directed on the package. Pour the batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan and bake for about 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before moving on to the next step.
- After the cake has cooled, use the back of a wooden spoon or a skewer to poke evenly spaced holes across the surface of the cake.
- Heat the hot fudge in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds until it becomes pourable. Carefully drizzle the warm fudge over the top of the cake.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate instant pudding mix with 1 ¾ cups of milk. Whisk quickly for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for about 20 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix the remaining pudding package with another 1 ¾ cups of milk. Whisk until thickened, and then gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip.
- Spread the Oreo-infused pudding mixture evenly over the set pudding layer on the cake.
