There are desserts that simply satisfy a sweet craving, and then there are desserts that elevate the entire experience into something unforgettable. The Marshmallow Chocolate Poke Cake is one of those desserts. This rich, indulgent cake combines everything a chocolate lover could wish for—moist chocolate cake, a creamy and velvety chocolate ganache filling, a light and fluffy marshmallow topping, and swirls of more decadent chocolate ganache to bring it all together. The cake itself is so moist and tender that it melts in your mouth, and the infusion of the sweetened condensed milk ganache makes every bite an absolute treat.
Ingredients
1. Cake Base:
Devil’s Food Chocolate Cake Mix: The base of this cake is a box mix, specifically a Devil’s Food Chocolate Cake mix. Devil’s Food cake is known for its rich, moist texture and deep chocolate flavor, making it the perfect foundation for this dessert. The cake mix simplifies the process while still delivering a moist and tender cake. You’ll just need to add the ingredients specified on the box—usually eggs, water, and oil.
2. Ganache Filling:
Sweetened Condensed Milk: The sweetened condensed milk adds a rich sweetness to the ganache and gives it the perfect creamy consistency. It also helps to bind the ingredients together, making the ganache silky and smooth.
Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: Semi-sweet chocolate chips bring the chocolatey depth that complements the sweetness of the condensed milk. This mixture creates a rich and luscious ganache that’s perfect for soaking into the cake.
Heavy Cream: Heavy cream adds richness and smoothness to the ganache, helping it achieve that perfectly pourable, velvety consistency. It also prevents the ganache from becoming too thick, ensuring that it soaks into the cake without being too heavy.
