I stole this recipe for Hot Chocolate Torte from Sweeten the Season: 15+ delicious recipe ideas and sweet savings holiday booklet from Kraft Foods 2021. This fancy looking cake is actually very easy to make. Two chocolate cake layers are sliced in half. Then two boxes of dry pudding mix are combined with milk and Cool whip: one box of white chocolate and one of chocolate pudding mix. To assemble the cake one layer of cake is placed on a serving plate. Then ¼ cup of each pudding mixture is swirled on top of the cake. Next this is repeated to with the remaining layers and pudding mixtures. Additional Cool Whip, cocoa powder and marshmallows are placed on the top layer to finish the cake. This dessert is perfect for anyone that loves chocolate.
The ingredients for this recipe are: 2 (9 inch) round milk chocolate cake layers, 1 package (3.3 oz) Jell-O white chocolate flavor instant pudding, 2 cups cold milk, 1 tub (8 oz) Cool Whip whipped topping, 1 package (3.90 oz) Jell-O chocolate flavor instant pudding, 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder and 7 Jet-Puffed marshmallows
Cut each cake layer horizontally in half then set aside. Beat white chocolate pudding mix and 1 cup milk in a large bowl with a whisk for 2 minutes.
Then stir in 1 cup of Cool Whip.
Next repeat in a separate bowl with chocolate pudding mix adding 1 cup milk and 1 cup Cool Whip.
Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate. Spoon ¼ cup of each pudding mixture on cake, swirl gently with a knife while spreading to cover top of cake layer.
Repeat 3 times. Top with remaining Cool Whip, cocoa powder and marshmallows.
