Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 jar chocolate sauce
- 1 tub whipped topping
- 1 cup crushed chocolate candies
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan to prevent the cake from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the instructions on the box. This typically involves combining the cake mix with water, eggs, and vegetable oil. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- Pour the prepared cake batter into the greased baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, gather your ingredients: sweetened condensed milk, chocolate sauce, whipped topping, and crushed chocolate candies.
- Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. After cooling slightly, use a fork to poke holes all over the top of the cake. Be generous with the holes to allow the toppings to seep in.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top of the warm cake, ensuring it fills the holes. Follow this by drizzling the chocolate sauce over the cake, allowing it to soak in as well.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, spread the whipped topping evenly over the top of the cake, covering it completely.
- Sprinkle the crushed chocolate candies generously on top of the whipped topping for added texture and flavor.
- Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set.
- When ready to serve, slice the cake into squares and enjoy this indulgent dessert that is sure to impress your guests!
Tips
- Make sure your cake is still warm when you add the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate sauce - this helps the flavors penetrate deep into the cake.
- Don't be shy with the fork when poking holes! The more holes, the more flavor will soak into the cake.
- For an extra indulgent touch, use high-quality chocolate candies for topping - think chocolate bars or gourmet chocolate pieces.
- Refrigerating overnight isn't just a suggestion - it's the secret to allowing all those delicious flavors to meld together perfectly.
- Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor experience.
- For a fun variation, try different types of chocolate sauce or experiment with different crushed candy toppings.
- If you're short on time, you can use a pre-made whipped topping to make the recipe even easier.
