How to Make Richest Chocolate Cake Ever

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare one box (15.25 oz) German chocolate cake mix according to package directions. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  3. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. While the cake is still warm, poke numerous holes all over the top using a wooden spoon or toothpick.
  5. Pour one (14 oz) can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the warm cake, allowing it to soak into the holes.
  6. Let the cake cool completely to room temperature.
  7. Once cooled, pour your favorite hot fudge topping (about 1 cup) over the cake, spreading it evenly.
  8. Allow the hot fudge to set for at least 15 minutes.
  9. Top with 8 oz of your favorite whipped topping.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving for optimal flavor and texture. Dig in!
