Step-by-Step Instructions for Brownie Refrigerator Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. Prepare the brownie mix according to package instructions, adding a large egg.
  2. Bake the brownies for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  3. Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Fold in half of the Cool Whip and spread over brownies.
  4. Whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix, instant vanilla pudding mix, and cold milk until thickened. Spread over the cream cheese layer.
  5. Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the pudding layer. Garnish if desired.
  6. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
