Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉ and grease a 9×13-inch pan.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cake mix, butter, milk, and eggs on low until combined. Then mix on medium speed for 2 minutes.
Pour into greased pan and baked for 25-30 minutes or until the center bounces back when lightly touched with a finger.

In a medium bowl, stir together cocoa powder and condensed milk until combined.
Add the milk and evaporated milk. Stir until uniform.
Slowly pour over the cake, making sure to get some everywhere, allowing it to soak in some as you go.
Chill several hours or overnight.
Before serving, whip together the cream, sugar, and cocoa powder to stiff peaks. Spread over the cake.
Garnish with mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings if desired.
