Make this easy chocolate poke cake for a rich, fudgy dessert. This recipe features a moist devil’s food cake base filled with gooey marshmallow fluff and topped with a warm hot fudge sauce, making it a crowd-pleasing treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 ounces) devil’s food cake mix
  • Water, eggs, and oil (as required by cake mix instructions)
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup marshmallow fluff
  • 1 cup hot fudge topping (warmed)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: Mini marshmallows or chocolate shavings for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. Mix and bake the cake according to the cake mix package directions. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Cool the cake slightly, about 15 minutes, while still in the pan.
  4. Poke holes: Use the handle of a wooden spoon or a large fork to poke holes all over the top of the warm cake, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Poke deep, but do not go all the way through the bottom.
  5. Pour the filling: Slowly pour the can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the entire cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
  6. Spread the marshmallow fluff over the cake surface.
  7. Prepare the topping: In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. This is your whipped topping.
  8. Spread the whipped topping over the marshmallow layer.
  9. Warm the hot fudge topping slightly so it is pourable. Drizzle the warm hot fudge over the whipped topping.
  10. Garnish with mini marshmallows or chocolate shavings, if desired.
  11. Chill the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.

Notes

  • For extra moisture, you can substitute half the water required by the cake mix with strong brewed coffee.
  • If you prefer a pudding filling, substitute the sweetened condensed milk with 1 large box of prepared chocolate pudding after the cake has cooled slightly.
  • Keep leftovers refrigerated due to the whipped cream topping.
