Whipped Chocolate Coca-Cola Poke Cake
Poke cake is a type of cake that is made by poking holes in a baked cake and then filling those holes with some sort of liquid or sauce, which is allowed to seep into the cake and infuse it with flavor. This decadent version combines chocolate cake, Coca Cola, and whipped chocolate frosting. It's a perfect treat for chocolate and soda lovers and is great for any occasion.

Instructions
Cake:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a cake pan.
In a saucepan, bring butter, Coke, and oil to a boil. Combine flour and sugar and add to saucepan and beat together, then remove from heat. Add in remaining cake ingredients and mix well.
Pour into prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Filling:
Melt the chocolate in microwave or double boiler over a low heat. Add in the rest of the ingredients and whisk together.
Poke holes in cake. Either use the end of a wooden spoon or using a fork, poke the cake all over, depending how you want your chocolate filling to soak through.
Pour the chocolate filling into the holes and all over the top of the cake while it's still warm. Put in fridge to set about 40 minutes.
Topping:
Using mixer, whip the cream until stiff peaks form, then add in the chocolate extract, coke, powdered sugar and mix together lightly.
Using a spatula, frost the top of the chocolate filled cake with the whipped cream frosting. Place back in fridge.
Heat hot fudge in a microwave or stove-top until pour-able. Do not pour on top of cake if it's hot. Once cooled and still pour-able, drizzle on cake and then using a toothpick or knife edge, swirl the chocolate around. Using a grater, grate some chocolate on top and place back in the fridge overnight.
