Valentine's Triple-Fudge Cake Recipe

A rich, delicious and home-made chocolate cake at your service on this Valentines Day.

Ingredients
1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk (not evaporated)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (6 oz)
1 box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® chocolate fudge cake mix
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup applesauce
2 eggs
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Cooking Directions
Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with shortening; lightly flour. In small microwavable bowl, microwave milk and 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips uncovered on Medium (50%) about 1 minute or until chocolate is softened; stir until smooth and set aside. In large bowl, beat cake mix and oil with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds (mixture will be crumbly); reserve 1 cup. Add applesauce and eggs; beat on low speed 30 seconds, scraping bowl occasionally (batter will be thick and grainy). Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Spread batter in pan. Drop melted chocolate mixture by teaspoonfuls over batter, dropping more around edge than in center. Stir remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips and the pecans into reserved cake mixture; sprinkle over batter. Bake 38 to 43 minutes or until center is set. Run knife around side of pan to loosen cake. Cool completely, about 2 hours. Store covered at room temperature.
