Ingredients

Chocolate Coke Cake

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup Coca-Cola
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup Unsweetened Dark Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa Powder , or choice
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ cup buttermilk (or 1/2 cup Milk and 1 tsp Lemon Juice)
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate extract

Chocolate Poke Filling

  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • cup unsweetened chocolate chips
  • ½ cup coke
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon chocolate extract

Chocolate Coke Whipped Cream

  • 1 cup whipping cream , whipped
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate extract
  • cup coke
  • 3 heaping tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons hot fudge syrup for swirling
  • 1 chocolate bar for shaving

Instructions

Chocolate Coke Cake

  • Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a 13x9 cake pan.
  • In a saucepan, bring 1/2 cup butter, 1 cup Coke, and oil to a boil.
  • Combine flour and sugar and add to saucepan and beat together, then remove from heat.
  • Add in remaining cake ingredients. Mix well and pour into prepared pan.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Chocolate Poke Filling

  • Melt chocolate chips in microwave 30 seconds at a time, stirring each time. Add in the rest of the ingredients and whisk together.
  • Poke holes in cake. 2 ways you can do this. Either use the end of a wooden spoon or using a fork, poke the cake all over, depending how you want your chocolate filling to soak through. I did the wooden spoon, but both would be fine.
  • Pour the chocolate filling into the holes and all over the top of the cake while it's still warm.
  • Put in fridge to set about 40 minutes.

Chocolate Coke Whipped Cream

  • Using mixer, whip the whipping cream until stiff peaks, then add in the chocolate extract, coke, powdered sugar and mix together lightly.
  • Using a spatula, frost the top of the chocolate filled cake with the whipped cream frosting.
  • Place back in fridge.
  • Put hot fudge in a microwavable dish and microwave on high for 15-20 seconds or until pourable. Do not pour on top of cake if it's hot. Once cooled and still pourable, drizzle on cake and then using a toothpick or knife edge, swirl the chocolate around.
  • Using a grater, grate some chocolate on top and place back in the fridge overnight.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

If you don't use or have chocolate extract, use a little hershey's syrup or hot fudge to add some chocolate flavor. A tablespoon or two for each layer should be good.
