Description

Indulge in this warm, gooey Hot Cocoa Chocolate Dump Cake, a chocolate lover’s dream perfect for cozy evenings and festive gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (15.25 oz)
  • 1 packet hot cocoa mix (1.25 oz)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix and hot cocoa mix. Add the eggs and water, stirring until well blended while minimizing lumps.
  3. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the surface.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are set but the center remains slightly soft for that gooey texture.
  6. Allow to cool slightly before cutting into generous squares. Top with whipped cream and mini marshmallows before serving warm.
