Description

A delicious dessert combining rich chocolate flavor with a light marshmallow topping, perfect for parties and gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 15.25 oz box Devil’s Food Chocolate Cake Mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream (for the whipped topping)
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 7 oz (about 2 cups) marshmallow fluff
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (for ganache swirls)
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream (for ganache swirls)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and bake the chocolate cake according to the box instructions in a 9×13 inch pan. While the cake is still warm, poke holes all over the top.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Heat in the microwave until smooth and pourable. Pour this ganache into the holes of the cake and spread any remaining ganache over the top. Allow the cake to cool for an hour, then refrigerate it.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until thick. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then mix in the marshmallow fluff. Spread this mixture over the cooled cake.
  4. For the ganache swirls, melt the chocolate chips with the heavy cream. Use a piping bag to swirl the ganache over the marshmallow topping.
  5. Chill the cake for at least an hour before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to poke the holes deep enough for the ganache to soak in but not too deep that it falls apart. Consider adding chocolate syrup on top for extra flavor.
