  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
