WOULD ANY CHOCOLATE CAKE MIX WORK FOR CHOCOLATE PUDDING CAKE?
For this recipe, we used Devils Food Chocolate Cake Mix, however, any chocolate cake mix would work with this recipe.
Or if you don’t have any cake mix, you could also make this into a richer dessert, and use a brownie base as well.
We prefer the cake since this dessert is already pretty rich, but a brownie base would also work.

HOW SHOULD I BEST STORE CHOCOLATE PUDDING CAKE?
We recommend refrigerating this cake and keeping it in a container, or tightly wrapped up with saran wrap or foil, for the best results. It will be good in the fridge for about 3 days, but recommended you eat the day of making it.
The cake part can get a little soggy if you wait more than two days, but it is still delicious on the third. After that, the cake will slowly kind of fall apart, and not look as appealing (even though I’m sure it would still taste great).
It’s usually gone at the first day in our house, so we never have to worry about leftovers.
We also don’t recommend freezing this recipe. The texture gets a little weird, and thawing makes the cake more soggy.

What kind of adjustments do we make now that none of the makers of cake mixes are putting 18.25 oz. in their packages? Everything is 16.5 or less. It's so discouraging. The recipe, however, looks scrumptious. :-)
