Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 34 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 44 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 box chocolate cake mix (German Chocolate, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or Devil’s Food)
• 1 cup water
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• 3 large eggs
• 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 (11.75 oz) jar hot fudge topping
• 1 tub coconut pecan frosting
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• ¼ cup mini chocolate chips

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
2. Prepare the cake batter: In a large bowl, combine cake mix, water, oil, and eggs. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
3. Bake the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 30–38 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
4. Poke holes: Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke evenly spaced holes across the cooled cake.
5. Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together sweetened condensed milk and hot fudge topping until fully combined.
6. Fill the cake: Pour the sauce over the cake, letting it seep into the holes. Use a spatula to spread it evenly.
7. Frost the cake: Spread coconut pecan frosting evenly over the top.
8. Add toppings: Sprinkle chopped pecans and mini chocolate chips over the frosting. Slice and serve at room temperature.

Pro Tips:

• For an even richer flavor, use Devil’s Food Cake mix.
• Make sure the cake is completely cooled before adding the sauce to prevent sogginess.
• Store at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
