Instructions

Set one donut aside. Cut the remaining into thin 1/4-inch thick slices. Then cut each slice into approximately 1/2-inch chunks.
Spread evenly onto the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish. Press gently to flatten.
Combine 1 1/2 cup of Cool Whip and the chocolate syrup in a bowl. Spread over the donut layer.
Make pudding according to package directions. Allow to set for 5 minutes. Dollop over the Cool Whip layer. Spread evenly.
Add the remaining plain Cool Whip. Spread evenly.
Chop (or break) the one reserved donut into small crumbs and set aside. You might not need the entire donut as only 1/2 cup is needed. Sprinkle over the Cool Whip.
Add sprinkles and shaved chocolate as desired.
Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. Best chilled 4 hours to overnight.

Tips

Cool Whip holds its shape better than whipped cream. I suggest you use Cool Whip if you want the cake look its best for a few days.
If you want to make fresh whipped cream, add a couple tablespoons of powdered sugar to stabilize it. The cornstarch in the powdered sugar helps prevent the whipped cream from getting limpy.
The best way to make donut crumbles is to cut into small chunks and chop into small crumbles.
