Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients as per package instructions)
- 1 cup chocolate syrup
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chocolate shavings or sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- Bake the Cake: Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to package instructions. Bake in a 9×13 inch pan and allow it to cool completely.
- Poke the Cake: Once the cake has cooled, use the end of a wooden spoon or a skewer to poke holes all over the cake, about 1 inch apart.
- Add the Syrup: Pour the chocolate syrup evenly over the cake, making sure it seeps into the holes. Allow it to sit for about 30 minutes to absorb.
- Make the Whipped Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Frost the Cake: Spread the whipped cream over the top of the cake. Garnish with chocolate shavings or sprinkles if desired.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the cake for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
