Description

This rich and indulgent Chocolate Poke Cake with Fudge Sauce is an easy-to-make dessert perfect for chocolate lovers. Moist chocolate cake is baked, then poked with holes to absorb luscious warm fudge sauce and sweetened condensed milk, creating an incredibly decadent, fudgy texture. Topped with fluffy whipped topping, mini chocolate chips, and optional chocolate shavings, this simple yet impressive treat is sure to satisfy any chocolate craving.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Cake

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients listed on box)

Fillings and Toppings

  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup hot fudge sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • Chocolate shavings or sprinkles for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare and bake the cake: Follow the package directions to mix and bake the chocolate cake in a 9×13-inch pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, then allow the cake to cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes.
  2. Poke holes in the cake: Use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes evenly all over the surface of the warm cake. This allows the fudge sauce and condensed milk to soak deeply into the cake layers.
  3. Pour fudge sauce over the cake: Warm the fudge sauce slightly in the microwave until it becomes pourable. Slowly drizzle the warm fudge sauce over the cake, making sure it seeps into the holes evenly.
  4. Add sweetened condensed milk: Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top of the cake to add extra moisture and sweetness.
  5. Chill the cake: Let the cake cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld and the cake set firmly.
  6. Top with whipped topping and garnish: Once chilled, spread the whipped topping in an even layer over the cake. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top and garnish with chocolate shavings or an extra drizzle of fudge sauce if desired.
  7. Serve chilled: Cut into slices and serve cold for a deliciously moist and fudgy chocolate dessert.

Notes

  • Use a devil’s food or chocolate fudge cake mix for a richer, more intense chocolate flavor.
  • For added texture and flavor, try layering crushed Oreos or chopped candy bars on top before serving.
  • Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
