Ingredients

MOIST CHOCOLATE CAKE

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOW FROSTING

  • 4 tablespoons dutch processed cocoa powder
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 4 tablespoon hot water
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows

TOPPINGS

  • 3-4 cups mini marshmallows
  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup butter-scotch chips -optional
  • 3 pieces graham crackers - broken into small pieces

Instructions

MOIST CHOCOLATE CAKE

  • Line and grease a square pan (12x12x1.5 inch) or rectangle pan (14x10x1.5 inch).
  • In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together, adding the eggs and milk the last. Note that the batter will be runny. 
  • Pour batter into the prepared pan and tap it a bit to even out the batter. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F/180°C for 20-30 minutes or until the inserted toothpick comes out clean. 
  • Remove from oven and let it cool down for at least an hour. 

CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOW FROSTING

  • In a bowl, combine the sugar and cocoa powder. Add the hot water and mix well until it forms a thick batter.
  • Place the marshmallows in a separate bowl and heat in microwave for 10 seconds at high power. Take the bowl out and stir using a spoon. Then heat for another 10 seconds to fully melt marshmallows.
  • Pour the cocoa batter to the marshmallow fluff and mix until well combined. (see NOTE 2)

ASSEMBLING MINI S'MORES CAKE

  • Cut the chocolate cake in squares or circles into 30 pieces.
  • Spread some of the chocolate marshmallow frostings on top of each mini cake using a spoon or spatula. 
  • Arrange marshmallows enough to cover the top. Sprinkle with some pieces of chocolate chips. 
  • Using a blowtorch, toast the marshmallows letting it char a little in some parts while melting the chocolate chips a bit at the same time.  Lastly, add bits or pieces of graham crackers on top.

Notes

Note 1. The chocolate cake can be made a day in advance. Cover with fling wrap and place in the fridge.
Note 2. The marshmallow frosting might set if left unused after a while. Be sure to make just before using or rewarm it in the microwave for 10 seconds at a time until spreadable.
