The Nestlé Toll House brand, famous since the 1930s for its invention of the chocolate chip cookie, has become synonymous with rich, chocolate-forward desserts. This cake is a modern twist that combines packaged convenience (cake mix + pudding) with Toll House’s legendary chocolate chips to create a dessert that honors both history and taste.
