For Filling:
- 1cupwhipped cream
- ½cupmarshmallow fluff
For Cake:
- 1yellow cake mix,baked according to package instructions in 2 9-inch (23 cm) cake pans and cooled completely
For Coating:
- 2cupswhite chocolate chip
- 2tbspcoconut oil
For Icing:
- ¼cupdark chocolate chip,melted
Instructions
Filling:
-
In a large bowl, combine the whipped cream and marshmallow fluff. Beat with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form.
Cake:
-
Use a serrated knife to carefully remove the domed top from the cakes, leaving a flat, even surface. Save the scraps for later.
-
Spread the filling over the bottom cake, leaving about ¾-inch border around the edge. Place the other cake upside down on top of the filling.
-
Trim the cake into a hexagon. Transfer the cake to a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
Coating:
-
Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low.
-
Combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a medium heatproof bowl and set it over the pan. When the white chocolate and coconut oil begin to melt, mix together until smooth.
-
Pour the melted white chocolate mixture over the cake. Use a knife to spread to the edges and down the sides. Once smooth, run a knife under the edges of the cake so it doesn’t stick to the rack.
-
Place the cake in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes until the coating is set.
-
Transfer the melted dark chocolate chips to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a corner snipped off. Carefully pipe chocolate zebra stripes onto the cake.
-
Return to the refrigerator to set for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the cake once the stripes are dry.
-
Slowly and carefully slice with a serrated knife so the shell doesn’t crack. Score the slices with a paring knife before cutting to make it easier, if needed.

Serve and enjoy!
