Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175°C), and grease a 9 by 13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Pour the chocolate cake mix and chocolate pudding mix into the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

Drizzle the milk over the dry ingredients and use a spatula to mix everything together until properly combined.

Step 4

Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the batter and dot small pieces of butter over the top.

Step 5

Bake the chocolate dump cake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 6

Let the cake cool for a few minutes. Slice and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, and a drizzle of hot fudge or caramel sauce. Enjoy!
