Ingredients Needed:
- Chocolate cake mix + ingredients called for on box
- Sweetened condensed milk
- Chocolate chips
- Butter
- Shortening
- Powdered sugar
- Unsweetened cocoa powder
- Milk
- Mini chocolate chips
Chocolate Cake Mix: Any brand or chocolate variety will work for this cake. Be sure to stick with a standard size ( approx 15-18 oz) box and you will be OK. You will also need any ingredients called for on the box.
How to Make:
- First, prepare the cake for a 13 x 9 cake pan, as directed on the box. Remove it from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes.
- While the cake is baking, melt the chocolate chips with the sweetened condensed milk. This can be done in the microwave or in a saucepan on the stove top. If you opt for the microwave, do this in 30 second intervals, to prevent burning. Whichever option you choose, keep a good eye on it..it can burn pretty easily.
- After cooling for a few minutes, with the end of a wooden spoon ( or rounded instrument), poke holes on top of the entire cake.
- Then, spread the melted chocolate mix on top.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour. If desired, you can refrigerate it for longer.
- When you are ready, frost the cooled cake and sprinkle the top with mini chocolate chips.
Storage: Keep any leftovers in the refrigerator.
