Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • Graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line your 9-inch cake pans with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  5. Slowly stir in hot water until the batter is smooth.
  6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  8. For the frosting, beat the unsalted butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
  9. Once cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting on top, sprinkle with mini marshmallows and chocolate chips.
  10. Place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
  11. Use a kitchen torch to lightly toast the mini marshmallows on top of the cake. Be careful not to burn them!
  12. Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs on top for that final touch!

Notes

For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend and ensure graham crackers are gluten-free.
