Ingredients

  • 1 box devil's food cake mix +  eggs, oil, and water ingredients listed on box

Marshmallow Filling

  • 16 ounce marshmallow fluff
  • ¼ cup water

Hot Fudge Layer

  • 11.75 ounce hot fudge sauce 1 Jar

Hot Chocolate Whipped Cream

  • 2 packets (1.25 ounce) hot chocolate mix (with mini marshmallow bits)
  • 12 ounces whipped topping

Optional Toppings

  • Remaining hot fudge
  • Mini Marshmallows
  • Marshmallow Bits

Instructions

  • Bake the cake in a 9 x 13 inch dish according to directions listed on the box
  • When the cake is baked, using the handle of a wooden spoon poke the cake, making the holes about an inch apart. Do not poke it all the way to the bottom just about 2/3 of the way.
  • In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, add the marshmallow fluff and 1/4 c water. Heat the mixture in 15-second intervals or until smooth and pourable.
  • Pour the fluff mixture over the poke cake slowly, making sure to get it into the holes.
  • Next, open the jar of hot fudge sauce and microwave on high for 30 seconds, or until smooth. Reserve about 2 tbsp of the hot fudge for the garnish. Spread the hot fudge over the marshmallow fluff and smooth out on top.
  • Place into the refrigerator to set and allow flavors to be absorbed by the cake (about 2 hours).
  • Combine the whipped topping and instant hot chocolate mix. Spread over the cooled cake.
  • Decorate with hot fudge and mini marshmallow bits.
