Preparing Chocolate Caramel Marshmallow Ooey Gooey Cake
Making this cake is as easy as pie (or should I say cake?). First, you’ll combine your cake mix, butter, and egg for a rich, chocolatey base. Once it’s baked to perfection, you’ll layer on marshmallows, caramel sauce, and chocolate chips, with a bit of toasting in the oven to bring it all together. The result? A toothsome dessert that oozes flavor and satisfaction.
Gather these items
Here’s what you’ll need to gather to create this decadent dessert:
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (15–16 oz)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup marshmallows
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Feel free to explore alternatives too! For a lighter option, you can use applesauce in place of butter, or even a gluten-free cake mix if dietary needs call for it.
