How to Make Nestlé Toll House Death by Chocolate Cake
Step 1: Bake the Cake
Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package directions. Stir in 1 cup of chocolate chips before baking for extra richness. Bake in a 9×13-inch pan and let it cool completely.
Step 2: Make the Chocolate Pudding
In a medium bowl, whisk the pudding mix with cold milk for about 2 minutes, then refrigerate for 5 minutes until thickened.
Step 3: Assemble the Layers
Once the cake has cooled, cut it into cubes. In a large glass trifle bowl or deep dish, begin layering:
-
Half of the cake cubes
-
Half of the chocolate pudding
-
A layer of whipped topping
-
Sprinkle of crushed Toll House cookies
Repeat the layers until you reach the top, ending with whipped topping and a generous shower of cookie crumbs and chocolate chips.
Step 4: Chill Before Serving
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours — or overnight. This allows all the flavors to meld together into one rich, velvety, chocolate dream.
💡 Tips for the Ultimate Chocolate Experience
-
Use dark chocolate chips for a deeper, more intense flavor.
-
Add a drizzle of chocolate syrup between layers for extra indulgence.
-
Make it ahead of time: The cake tastes even better the next day as the pudding soaks into the cake layers.
-
Serve cold: The contrast between the creamy pudding and chilled cake is pure perfection.
🍪 Variations to Try
-
Mocha Madness: Add a teaspoon of instant espresso powder to the pudding for a subtle coffee twist.
-
Peanut Butter Lover’s Dream: Swirl in some melted peanut butter between layers.
-
Oreo Overload: Replace Toll House cookies with crushed Oreos for a cookies-and-cream vibe.
