Marshmallow Chocolate Poke Cake

 Marshmallow Chocolate Poke Cake is an easy dessert recipe for the serious chocolate lover! Decadent chocolate cake infused with sweetened condensed milk chocolate ganache mixture, covered with marshmallow whipped cream and more chocolate ganache swirled on top


Ingredients

  • 15.25 oz box Devils 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

Marshmallow Whipped Cream

  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 7 oz. (about 2 cups) marshmallow fluff

For Chocolate Ganache Swirls:

  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • 3 Tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Bake cake according to box directions in a 9×13 cake pan.
  2. Using a handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the warm cake. Set aside to cool slightly and make the filling.
  3. Place sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir until smooth, microwaving more, if needed to melt the chocolate completely. The mixture should be pourable but not too runny. If it’s too thick, reheat it. If it’s too thin, set aside to cool and thick slightly. Transfer the mixture in a measuring jug and pour in the holes. Spread remaining chocolate on top.  Set aside to cool, about an hour, then refrigerate until completely cooled.
  4. To make the topping, whip heavy cream until it begins to thicken, add powdered sugar, and vanilla and whip until stiff peaks form. Gradually mix in marshmallow fluff. Spread the topping over cooled cake.
  5. Melt ½ cup chocolate chips with 3 Tablespoons heavy cream until smooth. Transfer the mixture in a zip-lock bag, cut off the corner and pipe the chocolate ganache all over the top and use a toothpick or skewer to create a more marbleized pattern of swirls.

Black bottom cupcake

 

  • 8 ounces 

    cream cheese

  • 2 teaspoons 

    vanilla extract, divided

  • 3/4 plus 1/3 cup 

    granulated sugar, divided

  • 2 large eggs, divided
  • 3/4 teaspoon 

    kosher salt, divided

  • 1/2 cup 

    mini semisweet chocolate chips

  • 1/2 cup 

    water

  • 3/4 cup 

    all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup 

    unsweetened natural cocoa powder (not Dutch-process)

  • 3/4 teaspoon 

    baking powder

  • 3/4 teaspoon 

    baking soda

  • 1/2 cup 

    whole or 2% milk

  • 1/4 cup 

    canola or vegetable oil

  • 2 teaspoons 

    apple cider or distilled white vinegar

  1. Place 8 ounces cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer (or large bowl if using an electric hand mixer). Let sit at room temperature until softened, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 350°F. Line a standard 12-well muffin pan with paper liners.

  2. Add 1 teaspoon of the vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat with the paddle attachment on medium speed until fluffy, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the beater with a rubber spatula. Add 1/3 cup of the granulated sugar, 1 of the large eggs, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Beat on low speed until combined and mostly smooth (a few lumps are okay), about 1 minute more. Add 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips and beat on low speed until just combined.

  3. Bring 1/2 cup water to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. As soon as the water comes to a simmer, turn the heat off. (Alternatively, use an electric or stovetop tea kettle and bring it to a boil.)

  4. Place 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, the remaining 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 3/4 teaspoon baking powder, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine.

  5. Add the remaining 1 large egg, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil, 2 teaspoons apple cider or white vinegar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk to combine. Pour in the hot water and whisk to combine. The batter will be quite thin. 

  6. Divide the batter evenly between the wells in the pan, filling each no more than 3/4 full. Dollop each with 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture, dividing it evenly among the cupcakes.

  7. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cupcakes comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

RECIPE NOTES

Regular Semisweet Chocolate Chips: 1/2 cup regular-sized semisweet chocolate chips can be used in place of the mini semisweet chocolate chips. Coarsely chop them before adding to the cream cheese mixture.

Storage: Leftover cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
