Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup chocolate syrup
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients listed on box: eggs, oil, water)
- 1 cup brewed strong coffee, cooled
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare cake mix according to package directions, replacing the water with cooled coffee for a rich mocha flavor.
- Pour batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and bake as directed on the box.
- Once baked, remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes evenly across the cake.

- Refrigerate cake for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to blend.
- In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, and espresso powder until stiff peaks form. Spread evenly over cooled cake.
