Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 15.25 ounces (432 grams) devils food chocolate cake mix
- 1 (14 ounces/397 grams) can sweetened condensed milk
- 12 ounces (340 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Liquid and Creamy Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1/3 cup (80 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1/3 cup (40 grams) powdered sugar
Flavoring and Additional Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 7 ounces (198 grams) marshmallow fluff
- 1/2 cup (85 grams) chocolate chips
- Additional ingredients for cake mix as specified on box packaging
Instructions
- Prepare the cake base according to package instructions in a 9×13 inch pan, ensuring even baking at the recommended temperature.
- While the cake is still warm, use a wooden spoon handle to create uniform holes across the entire surface, allowing for maximum chocolate filling absorption.
- Create the decadent chocolate filling by combining sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30-45 seconds, stirring until achieving a silky smooth consistency.
- Carefully pour the warm chocolate mixture into the prepared cake holes, ensuring complete coverage and spreading any remaining chocolate evenly across the top.
- Allow the cake to cool at room temperature for approximately 60 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to set completely.
- Prepare the luxurious marshmallow topping by whipping heavy cream until it begins to thicken, gradually incorporating powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
- Gently fold marshmallow fluff into the whipped cream mixture, creating a light and airy topping.
- Spread the marshmallow cream evenly over the chilled cake, creating a smooth and enticing surface.
- Craft the chocolate ganache swirls by melting chocolate chips with heavy cream until perfectly smooth.
- Transfer the ganache to a zip-lock bag, snip a small corner, and pipe delicate chocolate designs across the marshmallow topping.
- Use a toothpick or skewer to create elegant swirl patterns in the ganache, adding a decorative touch to the finished dessert.
Notes
- Wooden spoon technique helps create perfect, evenly distributed holes for maximum chocolate absorption without tearing the cake.
- Microwave chocolate mixture carefully, stirring frequently to prevent burning and achieve silky smooth consistency.
- Chill cake thoroughly to allow flavors to meld and chocolate filling to set completely, enhancing overall taste and texture.
- For gluten-free version, substitute boxed cake mix with gluten-free alternative while maintaining same mixing instructions.
