Ingredients
Scale
Cake
- 15.25 oz box Devils Food Chocolate Cake Mix
Filling
- 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
Topping
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 7 oz marshmallow fluff
Chocolate Drizzle
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
- Bake the Cake: Prepare the Devils Food Chocolate Cake Mix according to the package directions and bake it in a greased 9×13 inch pan. Allow the cake to cool slightly after baking to ensure it’s warm but not hot for the next step.
- Poke the Cake: Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the surface of the warm cake. These holes will allow the chocolate filling to soak in deeply, making the cake moist and flavorful.
- Prepare and Pour Filling: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, 12 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips, and 1/3 cup heavy cream. Microwave the mixture until the chocolate melts, stirring frequently until smooth. Pour this warm chocolate mixture evenly over the entire cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes. Spread any leftover filling on top, then refrigerate the cake for at least one hour to set.
- Make the Topping: Whip 1 ½ cups of heavy cream until it begins to thicken, then add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the marshmallow fluff until fully incorporated, then spread this fluffy topping evenly over the chilled cake.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Melt ½ cup chocolate chips with 3 tablespoons heavy cream, stirring until smooth. Using a piping bag or spoon, drizzle this ganache over the marshmallow topping. Swirl the drizzle to create a beautiful finish. Chill until ready to serve.
Notes
- For best results, allow the cake to cool slightly before poking holes to prevent breaking.
- Use a microwave in short intervals to prevent the chocolate from scorching when melting.
- Chilling the cake after pouring the filling helps it absorb the mixture fully and enhances flavor.
- The marshmallow fluff topping adds a unique texture and sweetness, balancing the rich chocolate.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
