Can I Use Any Brand of 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.
How to Make
- First, prepare your cake. Bake it and let it cool about 8-10 minutes.
- While the cake is cooling, 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 a covered container in the refrigerator.
