  • 1/3 cup heavy cream

  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream

Instructions
 

Bake the Cake:

    Preheat the Oven:

    • Follow the instructions on the Devil's Food Cake Mix box, baking the cake in a 9x13-inch cake pan.

    Poke Holes in the Cake:

    • Once the cake is done, while it is still warm, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the top of the cake.
    • Set the cake aside to cool slightly.

    Prepare the Filling:

      Make the Chocolate Filling:

      • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
      • Microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring every 20 seconds until the mixture is smooth and the chocolate chips have completely melted.
      • The filling should be pourable but not too runny. If it's too thick, reheat it slightly; if it's too thin, allow it to cool to thicken slightly.

      Fill the Cake:

      • Pour the chocolate mixture into the holes of the cake, spreading the remaining mixture over the top.
      • Let the cake cool for about an hour, then refrigerate until completely cooled.
      • Make the Marshmallow Whipped Cream Topping:

      Whip the Cream:

      • In a mixing bowl, whip 1 ½ cups of heavy cream until it begins to thicken.
      • Add the powdered sugar and vanilla, then continue whipping until stiff peaks form.

      Mix in Marshmallow Fluff:

      • Gradually mix in the marshmallow fluff, continuing to whip until fully combined.

      Spread the Topping:

      • Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the marshmallow whipped cream topping evenly over the cake.

      Prepare the Chocolate Ganache Swirls:

        Make the Ganache:

        • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt ½ cup chocolate chips with 3 tablespoons of heavy cream. Microwave in short intervals, stirring between, until smooth.

        Create Swirls:

        • Transfer the ganache to a zip-lock bag and cut off the corner.
        • Pipe the ganache all over the top of the whipped cream.
        • Use a toothpick or skewer to swirl the ganache into a marbled pattern.

        Serve:

        • Once the ganache is set, serve and enjoy your decadent dessert!
