For the Cake:
- 15.25 oz box Devil's Food Chocolate Cake Mix plus ingredients listed on the box
For the Filling:
- 1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
For the Marshmallow Whipped Cream:
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 7 oz about 2 cups marshmallow fluff
For the Chocolate Ganache Swirls:
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
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.
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:
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.
