Instructions

For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Mix according to package instructions. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 10-15 minutes.
For the chocolate sauce: In a saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, cocoa powder, and milk. Stir constantly over medium heat until the chocolate chips melt and the sauce is smooth. Set aside.
Soak the cake: Use a fork or skewer to poke holes all over the warm cake. Pour the chocolate sauce over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes. Let the cake cool completely.
For the topping: Beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the cooled cake.
Garnish: Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the whipped cream. Drizzle with chocolate syrup and dust with cocoa powder if desired.
Serve: Chill for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and make slicing easier. Enjoy!

Notes
