Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box Devil’s Food cake mix (or any chocolate cake mix)
- 3 eggs (or as directed on box)
- ½ cup oil (or as directed on box)
- 1 ¼ cups water (or substitute milk for richer flavor)
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
- 2 tablespoons water (to thin the marshmallow fluff)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or milk chocolate for a sweeter flavor)
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- ¼ cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
- 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream (for whipped topping)
- 3 tablespoons instant hot chocolate mix
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mini marshmallows (for garnish)
- Hot fudge sauce (optional, for drizzle)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven according to the cake mix instructions. Spray a 9×13 inch pan with nonstick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, water (or milk), and oil. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake according to package instructions. Let the cake cool for about 20 minutes.
- Using the handle of a wooden spoon, gently poke holes across the cake, spaced about 1 inch apart.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, mix the marshmallow fluff and 2 tablespoons of water. Microwave in 20-second bursts until pourable. Fill each hole with the marshmallow mixture.
- In another bowl, microwave the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream until melted and smooth. Stir well.
- Spread the warm fudge mixture evenly over the cake. Chill until the fudge layer sets.
- In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, hot chocolate mix, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
- Spread the whipped topping evenly over the fudge layer and garnish with mini marshmallows. Drizzle with hot fudge sauce if desired.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 3 hours before slicing and serving.
