In a world where chocolate cake shakes exist, you should have one for dinner. Tonight, make your own.
When Portillos came to Rockford, Sweet Lenny asked all of you on Facebook whats the first thing youd order once it arrived.
Sure some of you said cheese fries, a few beef sandwiches (ok, more than a few), but the biggest repeat answer we got was the chocolate cake shake.
Because chocolate cake and ice cream are meant to be together, and when you can suck it up a straw, its all kinds of amazing.
In order to make the shake, you must first make the chocolate cake. You will need the copycat recipe for the cake, which includes the secret ingredient, mayonnaise.
Follow the baking directions here, and then after the cake is all ready to go, get out the ice cream to make the shake!
Make the shake by combining a huge slice of the chocolate cake, 6 scoops of your favorite chocolate ice cream and a splash of milk.

So after being blown away by the fact that one of the best-tasting chocolate cakes out there starts with a box of Betty Crocker cake mix, I was further blown away when I read that the frosting was simply Betty Crocker Chocolate Frosting…. from a CAN!!! You could say I was a little skeptical when I started baking this cake, but all of my doubts were washed away when I tried the first bite. Just as good as Portillo’s!
Never in a million years would I have thought to try this unassuming chocolate cake at a hot dog joint until my hubby came home from work one day to tell me that he and his co-workers had bought a whole chocolate cake from there, and it was to die for! He was nice enough to smuggle a small slice home for me to try, and I had to agree. It was SO good!
A quick search with the help of my friend Goog (you know, short for Google), and I had the top-secret (not really) recipe for Portillo’s chocolate cake in my hands. I thought I’d have a hard time finding it, but it’s ALL over the Internet (so I don’t know who to credit!). I have to say, I was surprised to say the least. The base of the cake? Betty Crocker devil’s food cake mix. The only time I make an exception and use boxed cake mix is when I make this Better Than Sex Cake. I was skeptical, but enough people, including some former Portillo’s employees confirmed that Betty Crocker is what they use!
Portillo’s is a Chicago area icon, a restaurant known for their hot dogs, Italian beef sandwiches, and chocolate cake! This is supposedly the recipe that they use and it’s dangerously good! Make this Portillo’s Chocolate Cake today!
Then one day while I was stumbling upon reviews on Yelp, I checked out the reviews for Portillos and EVERYBODY was talking about the chocolate cake and the chocolate cake shake! All these years had gone by, and I had no clue what I was missing out on! The secret to the insanely delicious, ultra-moist cake, come to find out, is mayonnaise. Before you get all grossed out at the thought of mayo in a cake, did you realize that mayonnaise is simply oil and egg yolks whipped together, ingredients you’d find in baked goods already?
