Death by Chocolate Poke Cake

My kids went absolutely wild for the Death by Chocolate Poke Cake. They called it ‘the ultimate chocolate dream’ and asked for it every weekend!

Ingredients:

1 box chocolate cake mix (and ingredients called for on the box: usually water, eggs, and oil)

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

1 jar (12 oz) hot fudge sauce

1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix

2 cups cold milk

1 container (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed

Chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips for garnish

Instructions:

Preheat oven to the temperature specified on the cake mix box. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.

Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to package instructions. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake as directed, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once the cake is baked and still warm, use the back of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the top of the cake.

Warm the hot fudge sauce slightly to make it pourable (but not too hot) and pour it over the cake, making sure it gets into the holes.

In a bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk. Before the pudding sets, pour it over the cake and spread evenly, filling the holes.

Place the cake in the refrigerator to cool completely and let the pudding set, about 1 hour.

Once cooled, spread the whipped topping over the cake.

Garnish with chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips.

Keep the cake refrigerated until ready to serve.
