Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

18 ounces fudge cake mix (Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Butter Recipe preferred)
3 eggs (or as called for by your cake mix)
1/2 cup butter, melted (or as called for by your cake mix)
1 cup water (or as called for by your cake mix)
1 (16 ounce) can Hersheys Chocolate Syrup
1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip (non-dairy whipped dessert topping)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F and lightly grease/flour a 13 x 9" cake pan.
  • Mix cake according to box instuctions and bake as directed.
  • As soon as you remove cake from oven, poke holes with a fork all over the cake, pour chocolate syrup from can evenly all over top of cake and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • When cool, spread with cool whip and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • This is a great recipe!
  • Jean.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the cake will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking chocolate cake is 350°F (175°C). A lower temperature will result in a dense, fudgy cake, while a higher temperature will produce a drier, crumblier cake.
  • Don't overbake the cake: Overbaking can make the cake dry and crumbly. Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Chocolate cake is a classic dessert that is loved by people of all ages. It is perfect for any occasion, from birthdays to holidays. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious chocolate cake that will impress your friends and family.
