Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Cake Layer

  • 1 box Chocolate Cake Mix (Use any brand you prefer)
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Water (or as directed by the cake mix)

Cream Cheese Layer

  • 8 oz. Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 8 oz. Whipped Topping

Chocolate Pudding Layer

  • 3.9 oz Chocolate Pudding Mix (One package)
  • 2 cups Milk

Decoration

  • Chocolate Shavings or Sprinkles, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners to prepare for baking.
  2. Make Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, and water. Mix well until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
  3. Bake Cupcakes: Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with the prepared batter. Bake for 18-21 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow cupcakes to cool completely.
  4. Prepare Cream Cheese Layer: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Then gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  5. Prepare Pudding Layer: Whisk the chocolate pudding mix and milk together in another bowl. Continue whisking for about 2–3 minutes until the pudding thickens to a creamy consistency.
  6. Assemble Cupcakes: Once cupcakes are fully cooled, cut a small cone-shaped piece out from the top center of each cupcake. Fill the hollow with a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture, then add some chocolate pudding on top. Place the cut piece of cake back on top to seal.
  7. Frost and Decorate: Use the remaining whipped topping to frost the tops of the cupcakes generously. Finish by sprinkling chocolate shavings or sprinkles over each cupcake for garnish.
  8. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled cupcakes for about 30 minutes before serving. This chilling step allows the layers to meld together and enhances the flavor and texture. Enjoy your delicious Chocolate Lasagna Cupcakes!

Notes

  • You can substitute whipped topping with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste.
  • If you prefer homemade pudding, you can prepare it from scratch instead of using instant pudding mix.
  • These cupcakes can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for best freshness.
  • Make sure cupcakes are completely cooled before assembling to prevent melting of the cream layers.
