Recipe View In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, half-and-half, evaporated milk, and 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder until the cocoa is mostly incorporated. Slowly and evenly pour the chocolate milk mixture over the cake, ensuring it seeps into all the holes. Allow the cake to cool completely, allowing the liquid to soak in. (20 minutes)

While continuing to mix, gradually add the sugar-and-cocoa mixture in two batches, allowing the first batch to incorporate before adding the second. Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat until soft peaks form and the cream is thickened and spreadable. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Generously spread the chocolate whipped cream evenly over the cooled cake. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. (30 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate cake mix.
If you don't have instant espresso powder, you can substitute it with a teaspoon of strong brewed coffee.
To prevent the cake from becoming soggy, ensure it is completely cooled before pouring the milk mixture.
Feel free to garnish with chocolate shavings or fresh berries for an elegant presentation.
