French Silk Pie Dump Cake
Oh là là, darling—this French Silk Pie Dump Cake is the culinary equivalent of wearing your fanciest heels with pajamas.
It’s rich, gooey, and unapologetically decadent, but the best part? You can whip it up in a single dish without breaking a sweat.
The devil’s food cake mix gets a little boost from strong coffee, while the chocolate pie filling brings all the velvety goodness you’d expect from something with the word “silk” in the title.
And don’t get me started on the toppings—whipped cream and chocolate shavings make this dessert a showstopper worthy of its own red carpet.
So, grab your mixing spoon and channel your inner Julia Child—or Julia Roberts—because this cake is here to turn your weeknight into a sweet soirée.
