Hot Cocoa Cake With Whipped Marshmallow Recipes

HOT CHOCOLATE POKE CAKE

Steps:

• Make the chocolate cake according to package instructions.
• Pour into a greased 9x13-inch pan and smooth out. Bake cake according to package instructions.
• Poke the cake all over with the bottom of a wooden spoon or any round end handles. It should be large enough for the filling to get down into.
• In a saucepan, melt mini marshmallows with butter. Mix constantly until melted and smooth.
• Pour marshmallow mixture over the cake and make sure to fill the holes.
• In another bowl, whisk the heavy whipping cream and the hot chocolate mix and whip until stiff peaks form and no longer grainy (about 3 to 4 minutes). I find this easiest to do with a stand mixer using the whisk attachment.
• Frost the cake with the whipped hot chocolate cream and garnish with chocolate sauce and mini marshmallows and/or mini chocolate chips.
• Let the cake rest in the refrigerator for a few hours so the cake absorbs the marshmallow fluff before serving.

HOT COCOA CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350° F. Spray a Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray, and set aside.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the sugar and butter on medium speed until the mixture resembles wet sand. Add the sour cream and mix in well. Add the eggs and then the egg whites, one at a time, beating well after each egg is added. Once all of the eggs are in, add the vanilla extract.
• Combine the coffee powder with the hot water. Add to the mixing bowl.
• In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until homogeneous.
• Remove the bowl from the mixer and sift the dry ingredients into the mixture. Use a spatula to mix gently until all of the ingredients are completely combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix gently until evenly.
• Pour the batter into the Bundt pan and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then release onto a cake circle or a plate.
