Hot Cocoa Poke Cake Recipes

HOT COCOA POKE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350º and grease a 9"-x-13" pan. Prepare chocolate cake mix according to package directions and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes.
• Poke cake all over with the bottom of a wooden spoon. In a small bowl, microwave marshmallow crème and water for 10 seconds, then stir until smooth. Pour all over cake, making sure to fill the poked holes.
• Make whipped topping: in a large bowl, combine heavy cream and hot cocoa mix. Using a hand mixer, beat until stiff peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Frost cake with the whipped cream and garnish with marshmallow bits and chocolate shavings. Serve.

HOT CHOCOLATE POKE CAKE

Steps:

• Prepare and bake the cake mix as recommended on the box and bake in a 9x13 inch pan.
• When the cake comes out of the oven, use the end of a wooden spoon to poke holes into the cake about every other centimeter into the cake. Be carefully to just push the spoon about 2/3 of the way through the cakes.
• In a medium sized microwave-safe bowl, add the 2 cups of fluff and 1/4 c water. Heat the mixture in 20 second intervals or until smooth and runny.
• Pour the fluff mixture over the poke cake slowly, allowing it time to soak down the "pokes" a bit.
• Next, open the jar of hot fudge sauce and microwave on high for 20-40 seconds, or until smooth and velvety. Reserve about 2 tbsp of the hot fudge for the garnish. Spread the hot fudge over the marshmallow fluff and smooth out on top. Place into the refrigerator to set up.
• Combine the whipped topping and instant hot chocolate mix. Spread over the cooled cake.
• Decorate with hot fudge and mini marshmallow bits. Enjoy!
