Ingredients

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • - 1 cup water
  • - 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • - 3 large eggs
  • - 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • - 1 can 7 oz marshmallow creme
  • - 1 cup powdered sugar
  • - 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • - 1/4 cup 60g butter
  • - 1 1/2 cups 240g semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  • Prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • While the cake is baking, prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine marshmallow creme, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and set aside.
  • Once the cakes are done, let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once the cakes are cool, slice them in half horizontally to create four layers.
  • Spread the marshmallow filling between the cake layers.
  • For the glaze: In a saucepan, heat heavy cream and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until smooth.
  • Pour the chocolate glaze over the assembled cake and let it set for 30 minutes before serving.
