Ingredients
Scale
1 box of chocolate cake mix
4 large eggs
1 cup of buttermilk
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
1 can (12 oz) of coconut pecan frosting
1 cup of sweetened condensed milk
Optional topping: whipped cream or chocolate ganache
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine your chocolate cake mix, eggs, buttermilk, and vegetable oil. Use a handheld mixer for about 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and well-combined.
Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch pan. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once the cake has cooled for 10 minutes, use the end of a wooden spoon to poke holes throughout the cake, about every inch.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk and the coconut pecan frosting. Stir until well-blended and warmed through. Pour this mixture evenly over the poked holes in the cake.
Allow the cake to cool fully, then cover it and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight if possible!).
