Step 1

Prepare cake according to package directions. I like to replace the water with equal parts milk and also add one additional egg to make a moister, richer cake.

Step 2

When cake has about five minutes remaining, prepare your pudding. Whisk together the 4 cups of milk with both packages of pudding until pudding thickens up, but isn't set.

Step 3

When cake is finished, but still warm, poke holes all throughout the cake using the back of a wooden spoon. Pour pudding over the cake and then refrigerate until cooled and pudding has set up, about 2 hours.

Step 4

When pudding is set, prepare the ganache. In the microwave, scald the butter and cream, which takes about 2 minutes Do not boil. When finished, add in the chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. Whisk in the vanilla and powdered sugar until no lumps remain. If too thick, add a few drops of water until you get a nice consistency. Pour ganache over the cake and return to the fridge for another 2-3 hours.
