Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
  • Ingredients listed on the cake mix box (typically eggs, oil, and water)
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 packet (1 oz) hot cocoa mix
  • 1 container (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • Mini marshmallows, for garnish
  • Chocolate shavings or sprinkles, for garnish (optional)
  • Instructions

  • Bake the Cake: Preheat your oven according to the cake mix directions. Prepare the chocolate cake batter as directed on the package. Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish and bake for the recommended time, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Poke the Holes: As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, use the handle of a wooden spoon or a round chopstick to poke holes all over the top of the warm cake.
  • Make the Soak: In a small bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and the packet of hot cocoa mix until it's smooth and well combined.
  • Soak the Cake: Slowly pour the hot cocoa mixture over the warm cake, aiming to fill all the holes. Take your time, letting the liquid absorb.
  • Cool Completely: Allow the cake to cool completely to room temperature.
  • Add the Finishing Touches: Once the cake is cool, spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the surface. Sprinkle generously with mini marshmallows and any other toppings.
  • Notes
