Directions

1

Heat convection oven to 300°F (standard oven: 350°F). Generously spray one full-sized steam table pan (20-3/4 x 12-3/4 x 2-1/2-inch) with vegetable cooking spray.

2

Blend baking mix and HERSHEY'S Cocoa in 20 qt. bowl of mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Mix on low 30 seconds. Gradually add 32 fl. oz. sweetened condensed milk, 8 fl. oz. HERSHEY'S Chocolate Syrup and vanilla; continue mixing on low speed 1 minute or until well blended. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Set aside.

3

Using wire whisk, stir together remaining sweetened condensed milk, remaining HERSHEY'S Chocolate Syrup and hot water in 12-cup pitcher or measuring cup. Pour liquid mixture carefully over top of mixture in pan; DO NOT STIR hot water mixture into cocoa mixture in pan.

4

Bake 35 to 45 minutes* or until center is set and cake begins to pull away from sides of pan. Let stand 15 minutes; spoon into dessert dishes, spooning pudding from bottom of pan over top. Serve warm; garnish with whipped cream topping or ice cream if desired. Cover; refrigerate left over cake.

Step 4: If using convection oven, rotate pan one-half turn (180°) after 20 minutes of baking.
