Cake
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick spray like Wilton Bake Easy.

- Pour in prepared baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes until cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow cake to cool for about 15 minutes. While the cake is still warm poke holes in the cake, leaving about 2 inches between holes using the back of a wooden spoon. Allow cake to cool completely before filling.
Chocolate Filling

Chocolate Topping
- Whip heavy whipping cream in a large bowl using an electric or hand held mixer on high speed until soft peaks form, about 5 minutes. Reduce speed and add in powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Continue to mix until blended. Refrigerate topping for about 15 minutes.
