Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan. In a large bowl, combine the 1 box chocolate cake mix, 3 eggs, 0.5 cup oil, and 1 cup water. Beat until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25-30 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 30 minutes.
Step 3
In a chilled bowl, whip the 1 cup heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Spread the whipped cream over the cooled cake.
Step 4
Drizzle the 0.25 cup chocolate syrup over the whipped cream. Dust with cocoa powder if desired. Slice and serve.
