Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the Chocolate Cake according to package directions using the Chocolate Cake ingredients. Bake as directed.
While the cake is baking, make the Chocolate Sauce. In a saucepan, heat the Heavy Cream over medium heat until simmering. Remove from heat and add the Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips and Butter. Let sit for 1 minute, then whisk until smooth.
Make the Whipped Cream. In a chilled bowl, beat the Heavy Cream with the Powdered Sugar and Vanilla Extract until stiff peaks form.
Once the cake has cooled, cut into squares. Drizzle generously with the Chocolate Sauce and top with a dollop of Whipped Cream. Serve immediately.
