Hot Chocolate Poke Cake - Easy Boxed Cake Recipe

Author Catherine's Plates

Ingredients

  • 1 (15.25 oz) box devils food cake mix
  • ingredients listed on back of cake mix box
  • 2 (7 oz) jars marshmallow cream
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2-3 TBS hot fudge topping from jar
  • 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (whip cream) thawed
  • 2 (1.25 oz) packets instant hot chocolate powder

Instructions

  • Prepare & bake the cake mix as shown on back of cake mix box. (To make it really fluffy I make it "bakery style" by switching out the oil for melted butter and the water for milk.) Cake will be done when a toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean and the sides of the cake pull away from the edges of baking dish.
  • Cool cake for 15 minutes. Using the rounded end of a utensil or wooden spoon, at least 1/4 of an inch, poke holes into cake about 2/3 of the way through. (Do not allow the pokes to go through bottom of cake.) (See video above for more detailed instructions.)
  • In a microwave safe bowl add the marshmallow cream or fluff and 1/4 cup of water, mix just a little. Microwave the mixture in 20 second increments until nice and smooth.
  • Pour mixture over cake slowly letting it soak into the holes as much as possible, then pour over rest of cake. (The mixture will seep into cake.) Place into refrigerator for 1-2 hours to set up.
  • In medium bowl whip together the whipped topping and 2 packets of hot chocolate. Spread evenly over the cooled cake. Drizzle fudge sauce over whipped topping and swirl. Enjoy.
