HOT CHOCOLATE POKE CAKE

Ingredients

  • 15.25 ounce dark chocolate cake mix, plus ingredients called for on the box
  • 2 (10 ounce) bags mini marshmallows
  • 5 Tablespoons salted butter (can use unsalted)
  • 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream (or Cool Whip)
  • ¼ cup (2 packets) hot chocolate mix

Optional Toppings:

  • mini marshmallows
  • chocolate syrup
  • mini chocolate chips

Instructions

    • Make the chocolate cake according to package instructions.
    • Pour into a greased 9×13-inch pan and smooth out. Bake cake according to package instructions.
    • Poke the cake all over with the bottom of a wooden spoon or any round end handles. It should be large enough for the filling to get down into.
    • In a saucepan, melt mini marshmallows with butter. Mix constantly until melted and smooth.
    • Pour marshmallow mixture over the cake and make sure to fill the holes.
  • In another bowl, whisk the heavy whipping cream and the hot chocolate mix and whip until stiff peaks form and no longer grainy (about 3 to 4 minutes). I find this easiest to do with a stand mixer using the whisk attachment.
  • Frost the cake with the whipped hot chocolate cream and garnish with chocolate sauce and mini marshmallows and/or mini chocolate chips.
  • Let the cake rest in the refrigerator for a few hours so the cake absorbs the marshmallow fluff before serving.
