🍫 Death By Chocolate Poke Cake

🧁 Ingredients

For the Cake:

1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box: usually eggs, oil, water)

For the Filling:

1 can (14 oz / 397g) sweetened condensed milk

1 cup chocolate fudge sauce (store-bought or homemade)

For the Topping:

1½ cups heavy whipping cream (cold)

¼ cup powdered sugar

½ cup chocolate chips (melted and cooled slightly)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Bake the Cake

Prepare and bake the chocolate cake according to package instructions in a 9x13 inch pan.

Let it cool for about 10–15 minutes (not fully cold).

2️⃣ Poke It

Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the cake — about 1 inch apart.

Go deep, but don’t destroy it 😅

3️⃣ Make It Soaked & Dangerous

Mix the sweetened condensed milk with the fudge sauce.

Slowly pour the mixture over the cake, making sure it goes into all the holes.

Let the cake cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight = even better).

4️⃣ Whipped Chocolate Topping

Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

Gently fold in the melted chocolate.

Spread evenly over the chilled cake.

5️⃣ The Final Chocolate Attack

Sprinkle:

Mini chocolate chips

Crushed cookies

Chocolate shavings

Refrigerate 30 more minutes before serving.
