Ingredients
- Chocolate cake, any kind (it's fine to use cake that is going stale as the microwaving will revive it)
- Marshmallows
- Peppermint patties
Steps
- Cut a single slice of cake. Then, cut it horizontally, separating it into two parts.
- Tear the marshmallows into small pieces. Place these pieces in between the two pieces of cake. You can also put a few pieces on top.
- Tear the peppermint patty or patties into small pieces, just like the marshmallows. Place these on top of the cake.
- Put the cake carefully in the microwave. The top half might fall over, so leave space on the plate for any minor avalanches.
- Heat on high for about 20-40 seconds, depending on how much of the candy you put on the cake.

- Serve immediately. It should be nice and gooey, as well as being comfortingly warm. Have it with a cup of hot chocolate or cocoa.
Tips
- You can also use a whole cake instead of individual slices. Just be aware that doing this will make it trickier to cut. You may want to bake two thinner cakes, and place them on top of each other. If you can't fit the cake in the microwave, put it in the oven at a very low temperature for a few minutes or until the marshmallows and peppermint patties melt. Be sure to watch it carefully.
- The number of peppermint patties and marshmallows depends on the size of the cake and on your personal taste. Even though a lot of marshmallows and peppermint patties may look good, it can easily be too sweet for most people.
