Instructions
Cake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with nonstick baking spray.
In a large bowl, add in the cake mix and the dry chocolate pudding mix. Stir to combine.
Add in the vegetable oil, chocolate milk, and eggs. Whisk until the eggs are completely incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Filling
In a large mixing bowl, add in the cream cheese and butter. Beat with a hand mixer on medium until smooth and creamy.
Chop the baking chocolate into small pieces and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15 to 20-second intervals and stir after each interval until the chocolate is melted.
Add in the melted chocolate to the cream cheese and butter and beat until combined.
Add in the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and milk. Beat until everything is incorporated and the filling is smooth and creamy.
Add spoonfuls of the filling to the top of the cake batter. Be sure to add some filling close to the edges.
Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the filling and cake batter.
Using a skewer or butter knife, swirl everything together.
Place in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes or until the cake is done.
