After making this, I searched online to see if I could put the whole cake under the broiler to give it that toasted look of a roasted marshmallow. I found that you need a cooking torch, but I also saw a s'mores cake recipe that used a graham cracker cake and added whipped chocolate ganache between the layers. I may have to come up with a recipe for graham cracker cake now... 😁
Cake (if you want to make the cake from scratch, too, here is my favorite recipe)
- 1 box devils food cake mix
- 1 cup cold coffee
- 1/3 cup oil
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Frosting
- 1/2 recipe marshmallow fluff or one store-bought package
(I use this recipe as it gives great tips/tricks on make the fluff. I did add the measurement for using liquid egg whites as a friend gave me 5 containers of it.)
1/3 cup water
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup corn syrup or honey
3 large egg whites (or 4 oz liquid egg whites) room temperature
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp vanilla extract - 2-3 graham crackers, crushed (I use a ziptop bag and a meat mallet)
- melted chocolate to drizzle, optional
Utensils
- Two 8" round cake pans or a 9"x13"cake pan
- Stand mixer preferred, but hand mixer required (if making your own marshmallow fluff)
- Cake plate, if making a layer cake
Directions
- Mix the cake mix, coffee, eggs, and oil. Pour into cake pan(s), top with chocolate chips, and bake at 350 degrees F for 24-35 minutes (24-29 with two 8" round pans, or 29-35 with a 9"x13" pan).
- Prep marshmallow fluff if making from scratch.
- Let cake(s) cool. Top each layer with fluff, graham cracker crumples, and chocolate drizzle (optional).
