Indulge in the ultimate chocolate lover’s dream with this Marshmallow Chocolate Poke Cake, featuring a rich chocolate cake soaked in sweetened condensed milk and chocolate ganache, topped with fluffy marshmallow whipped cream and finished with a swirl of chocolate ganache.

Ingredients

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

1/3 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

7 oz. (about 2 cups) marshmallow fluff

1/2 cup chocolate chips

3 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cake according to the box directions in a 9×13-inch cake pan.
  2. Once baked, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the warm cake. Let it cool slightly while you prepare the filling.
  3. For the ganache, microwave the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and chocolate chips for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir until smooth and pourable. If too thick, reheat; if too thin, let cool to thicken.
  4. Pour the ganache mixture into the cake holes and spread any remaining ganache over the top. Let the cake cool for an hour, then refrigerate until fully chilled.
  5. For the topping, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Gradually mix in the marshmallow fluff and spread the whipped topping over the cooled cake.
  6. For the ganache swirls, microwave 1/2 cup chocolate chips with 3 tablespoons heavy cream until smooth. Pipe the ganache over the cake and swirl with a toothpick for a marbled effect.

Notes

Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the whipped cream topping for a crunch.

Use a different flavored cake mix, like chocolate fudge or vanilla, for variation.

For a peanut butter twist, swirl peanut butter ganache with the chocolate ganache on top.

Make individual portions by baking in muffin tins.
