Ingredients
1 box (16 oz) chocolate cake mix
2 boxes (3.9 oz each) chocolate instant pudding
0.5 cup sour cream
0.75 cup vegetable oil
2.5 cups milk
3 large eggs
2 cups heavy cream
16 Oreo cookies, crushed
9 Milano cookies
3 ghost marshmallow candies
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan thoroughly.
Combine cake mix, one box of pudding, sour cream, oil, milk, and eggs in a large bowl and mix until fully combined.
Spread the thick batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 28-32 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the cake for 30 minutes, then poke deep holes all over the surface.
Whisk the second box of pudding with the remaining milk until smooth, then pour over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes.
Chill the cake for at least 1 hour.
Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form and spread evenly over the cake.
Top with crushed Oreo cookies to mimic dirt.
Decorate with Milano cookie tombstones and ghost candies before serving.
Notes
Ensure the cake has cooled sufficiently before adding the pudding layer to prevent a gummy texture. You can write letters like ‘RIP’ on your Milano cookies using melted chocolate for an extra spooky touch. Store in the refrigerator.
