Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk the 2 tbsp instant vanilla pudding mix with 1/2 cup cold milk until smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Slice the 1 pound cake slice horizontally into two thin layers. Spread the pudding evenly over the bottom layer, then top with the other cake layer.
Step 3
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the 1/4 cup chocolate chips and 2 tbsp heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring, until melted and smooth, about 1 minute total.
Step 4
Pour the chocolate glaze over the top of the cake, spreading it to the edges. Let set for 2 minutes, then serve.
Step 5
Optional: sprinkle with sliced almonds or a pinch of sea salt before the glaze sets.
