Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Then, prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package directions, pouring it into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This is the key part where your kitchen will fill with a decadent chocolate aroma that sets the stage for the deliciousness to come. Once the cake is baked, let it cool for about 10 minutes. This is where the “poking” comes in, so get that toothpick ready! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
