Equipment

  • Round cake pan
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Serrated knife
  • Small saucepan
  • Spatula

Ingredients

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup marshmallow fluff
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • ¼ cup water

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven as directed on the cake mix box.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix with eggs, oil, and water. Mix until smooth.
  • Pour the batter into a greased round cake pan and spread it evenly.
  • Bake according to the package instructions until done. Let cool completely.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together marshmallow fluff, cornstarch, and ¼ cup of water until smooth.
  • In another bowl, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip until stiff peaks form.
  • Slice the cooled cake horizontally into two layers.
  • Spread the marshmallow filling evenly over the bottom layer, then top with the whipped cream mixture.
  • Place the second cake layer on top.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then add chocolate chips and stir until smooth.
  • Pour the ganache over the top layer of the cake, letting it drip down the sides.

Notes

For a fresher take, try swapping the semi-sweet chocolate chips for dark or milk chocolate chips. You can substitute heavy cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free option. Homemade marshmallow cream can replace store-bought fluff for a personal touch. This cake is delightful for birthdays, potlucks, or simply a cozy night in. Enjoy leftovers by refrigerating them in an airtight container for up to three days. For the best flavor, chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream. Enjoy this nostalgic dessert creation!
