**Poke Cake Chocolate**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the package, typically eggs, oil, and water)
– 1 (3.4 oz) package instant chocolate pudding mix
– 2 cups milk
– 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– 1/4 cup powdered sugar
– Chocolate shavings, for garnish (optional)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the chocolate cake mix box. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
2. Prepare the chocolate cake batter according to the instructions on the box. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake according to the package instructions. Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
3. Using the handle of a wooden spoon or a similar tool, poke holes all over the cake, spacing them about an inch apart. Make the holes deep enough to allow the pudding to seep into the cake.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk until smooth and slightly thickened. Pour the pudding mixture over the cake, ensuring that it fills all the holes. Use a spatula to spread any excess pudding evenly over the cake’s surface.
5. In a small saucepan, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
6. Pour the chocolate ganache over the pudding-covered cake, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Allow the ganache to set for about 15-20 minutes.
7. Sprinkle the powdered sugar over the top of the cake and garnish with chocolate shavings, if desired.
8. Refrigerate the Poke Cake Chocolate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together and the cake to set properly.
9. Serve slices of the cake chilled, and enjoy the rich, chocolaty goodness with your friends and family.
